I started playing football at the age of 8 and continued actively throughout my primary and secondary school years, where I regularly represented my school in various local and district-level tournaments. My passion for the sport motivated me to pursue a Diploma in Football Studies, where I was exposed to modern football systems, tactical awareness, and structured training. During my diploma years, I competed in several community and inter-college leagues, including the Puncak Alam League 2021, where I played a key role in helping my team finish as Runner-Up, the UOW FAS League 2022, where we reached the semifinals, and the Shah Alam League 2022, where we secured a Top 5 finish. These experiences strengthened my game understanding, discipline, and match readiness. As I continued my studies in the Bachelor of Sports Management program at Universiti Malaya, I progressed to a higher competitive level, representing the university in national and inter-varsity tournaments such as SUKIPT 2024, the IPT League (Division 2), and the UM Football League 2024. These platforms allowed me to grow further as a player, develop leadership qualities, and adapt to high-performance environments. In 2023, I obtained a Grassroots Football Coaching License, and have since been involved in coaching youth players, sharing my knowledge and contributing to football development at the community level.
