Hazim 'Zeem' Ahmad began learning freestyle soccer in 2006 at the age of 10. He witnessed a freestyle performance on the street and was immediately amazed by the moves. He started catching more performances before seeking out Dr Freestyler Malaysia (Amy), one of the sport’s pioneers in Malaysia, for training. Zeem said it took him four years of training from Amy to master the sport's basics before he continued experimenting with his skills using YouTube and self-learning.
At the 2016 World Street Soccer Championship in Denmark, Zeem was among the few Asian faces present. He also represented Malaysia as a trainer at the Panna Home Training Camp 2019 in Japan. His team won the Red Bull Neymar Jr’s Five World Final 2022.
Zeem is passionate about freestyle soccer, gaining recognition in Malaysia and beyond. He started One2one Academy, where he coaches young players to follow their passion for freestyle soccer.
