Nevello's Early Life Journey
Nevello was born in Khartoum, Sudan. When he was four years old, his family moved to Cairo, Egypt. A few years later, at age ten, they moved again to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. This is where Nevello started playing organized soccer at age 11 with a team called Ottawa Internationals SC. He later joined the Ottawa Fury Academy, a special program for young players.
When Nevello was about 15, he got a chance to try out for a big Brazilian team called Cruzeiro. He did very well and stayed there for four months! But he had to return to Canada because of a problem with his visa, which is a special document needed to live or work in a country. After coming back, a scout noticed him, and he joined the Montreal Impact Academy, another great youth soccer program.

In 2015, after his time in the Montreal Impact Academy, Nevello started his professional journey with FC Montréal. This team was connected to the Montreal Impact. He played in the USL, which is a professional soccer league in North America. He made his first appearance as a substitute in August 2015.
In 2017, Nevello joined a team in Sweden called Oskarshamns AIK. After that, he tried out for a French club, AS Saint-Priest, but again faced visa issues, so he couldn't sign with them. He then returned to Canada and trained with his hometown club, Ottawa Fury FC.
In April 2019, he signed with AFC Ann Arbor, a team in the American fourth-tier league called the National Premier Soccer League. After that season, he returned to Canada and played with Ottawa South United in League1 Ontario. He later went back to AS Saint-Priest before returning to Canada in June 2020 to play for Ottawa South United again, which was now part of the Première Ligue de soccer du Québec.
