Netherlands former footballer Clarence Seedorf embrace Islam

Web Desk — Former Netherlands footballer and four-time UEFA Champions League winner Clarence Seedorf has embraced Islam and thanked his wife for teaching him the “in-depth meaning” of the faith. 

Besides playing for three prominent clubs including Ajax, Real Madrid, and AC Milan as well as 87 games for his country, Seedorf has also worked as a manager after retiring from professional sport. 

He took to his official Instagram account in which he can be seen standing with his wife ”Sophia” and also penned a long caption. 

“A special thanks to all the nice messages in celebration of me joining the Muslim family,” Seedorf thanked. 

“I’m very happy and pleased to join the all Brothers and Sisters around the world, especially my adorable Sophia who has taught me more in-depth the meaning of Islam,” he wrote while thanking his wife. 

Although, Seedorf will not change his name as he looks to carry the name given to him by his parents.  

“I didn’t change my name and will continue to carry my name as given by my parents, Clarence Seedorf! I’m sending all my love to everyone in the world,” he concluded.
