Iwasa thrived in his return home, scoring 17 goals each in his first two seasons back with the Republic. It certainly wasn’t what I’d hoped it would have been, but ultimately it wasn’t something that I regret because it brought me back here, and when I got back I had the two best seasons of my career,” Iwasa said. “So, I was glad I got to taste it at least.
Iwasa was close to playing in Major League Soccer, having signed with Kansas City in 2017, when an injury sidelined him before he played a single game. It’s a harsh reality of professional sports - chasing a dream. “Almost pretty much everyone who plays in this league will have to get another job whenever they’re done playing.” “But the reality is, guys in this league, in general, are not making money you can retire on,” Iwasa said.
He’ll miss playing a game he has loved almost his entire life. He and his fiancée are hoping to start a family soon, and he has a college degree to fall back on. “It’s a year-to-year thing, and I just wanted to be ahead of the curve of being able to get myself settled down into a more steady, stable income.”Īt 28, Iwasa will be getting married in a month. “In this business, the one downside is there is not really any stability,” Iwasa said. More than three million children have been displaced in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo due to militia violence.
