Ibrahim Idan's life was turned upside down when he was wounded in an Assad regime bomb attack in 2015 and forced to flee his home in Syria.
He lost one of his legs in the attack; he is preparing for the 2023 European Sitting Volleyball Championships in Turkey.
After coming to Gaziantep, southeastern Turkey, he started playing sitting volleyball upon the advice of one of his friends after two years of treatment.
He found he was learning the skills of the game very quickly, so he put himself forward for the National Sitting Volleyball Team and was selected.

"Don't stay at home, go out and see life," he stressed.
