Arat Hosseini, born on September 30, 2013, is currently 11 years old. He is known for his football skills and acrobatic abilities, and has gained significant attention on social media, particularly on Instagram. He is often referred to as the “Iranian Messi”.
He became an online sensation as a young child due to his extraordinary athletic ability in gymnastics and football.
From infancy, his father trained him intensively in acrobatics. By age four, he was showcased in viral videos dribbling and displaying gymnastic moves with astonishing skill and tone.
Arat trained with Liverpool FC’s academy in 2019, but left a few years later. His father later confirmed that their departure was due to a mismatch with Liverpool’s youth training philosophy rather than a continuation of his stay.
Reports mention that following his exit from Liverpool, he briefly joined Iran’s Sepahan club but was released recently, with coaches citing health and welfare concerns due to his rigorous training routines.
