The inside story of a Canadian soccer superstar, who, by age 20, captured the hearts of a nation and became an inspiration to refugees around the world.

Built on years of interviews with friends, family, teachers, coaches, and teammates, the first biography of Alphonso Davies, the new face of Canadian men's soccer

Arguably the most famous Canadian athlete on the planet, Alphonso Davies has been the subject of global attention after bursting onto the scene as a 15-year-old soccer sensation. Since then, he's won every trophy imaginable with German giant FC Bayern Munich and helped Canada reach the men's World Cup for the first time in 36 years.

Based on years of original reporting and extensive interviews with his friends, family members, teachers, coaches, teammates, and others from his inner circle, Alphonso Davies: A New Hope paints a complete portrait of the soccer star. The first biography about 'Phonzie' covers every angle of his life and career - from the harsh realities of growing up in a refugee camp amidst the Liberian Civil War, to the unique challenges of starting a new life in a foreign country, twice, to his trailblazing path as a Canadian megastar in the world's most popular sport. Bringing together intimate details and never-before-told stories, author Farhan Devji pulls back the curtain on a person and player who has captured the hearts of a nation and become a shining light for refugees everywhere.

Industry Reviews

“In many ways, Alphonso Davies’s life is the ultimate Canadian story. A refugee who came here with nothing and became one of Canada’s greatest and most beloved athletes. Farhan tells a beautiful tale that is about much more than soccer. ” — James Duthie, TSN host
