Young footballer Ashwin Manoj Kumar began his journey in the sport at the age of 10, building his skills through structured training and strong family support, which laid the foundation for his steady progress.

Ashwin developed his game by training with several clubs in the Kingdom, including Grip, Ciro and OLE Bahrain.

This exposure helped sharpen his technical ability, improve match awareness and build competitive confidence on the field.

His efforts produced clear results in 2023, when he was named a Grip Match Winner and finished as the first top scorer.

Later in December, Ashwin earned the Man of the Match award at the Copa Ciro tournament, underlining his consistency and influence during matches. In January, Ashwin reached an important milestone after being selected by OLE Bahrain to compete in the Manchester City Club Under-14 tournament in Abu Dhabi.

Making his international debut, he delivered disciplined performances that contributed to his team reaching the final and securing second place.

Ashwin’s progress reflects the impact of early encouragement, regular training and perseverance, marking him as a promising young talent with strong potential for future development in football.
