Let's make this birthday one to remember.

30 years old (Born on December 02, 1994)

Happy Birthday, Karim Rekik! From kicking off your professional journey at Manchester City in 2011 to proudly wearing the Dutch national team jersey in 2014, you've always managed to defend goals and impress fans with style. You've spent countless matches being a nightmare for strikers—clearing shots and occasionally stealing hearts—but thankfully you haven't been booked yet for being too awesome.

As another year rolls by, we celebrate not just your impeccable tackles but also that steadfast sense of humor on and off the field. May you tackle this coming year as effortlessly as opponents who dare threaten your defense line. Happiest birthday wishes—to our favorite defensive wall!
