Women’s Soccer Spotlight: Amit Cohen
“I want to be near a successful team, I want to be with the kind of people that care about me as a person and me as a player. That’s why I came to FAU, because of how they make me feel,” Amit Cohen said.

Raised in Eilat, Israel, Cohen has been playing soccer for as long as she can remember. It was her father, Rafi, who played as a goalkeeper for 26 years until 2013, including 43 appearances with the Israeli senior national team, who inspired her to play the sport.
