He implored the youngsters to find their own style in the game and create names for themselves.
A former Chilean and Major League Soccer (MLS) player, Abukhalil, added that youngsters must be able to understand the game fully to play it properly.
After his remarks, Abukhalil handed over a quantity of balls to the teams participating in the ongoing GUYOIL/Tradewind Tankers School Football League.
Meanwhile, Marketing Executive of GUYOIL, Ashmin John, stated that the youngsters should take pride in what they are doing, considering that they, “Are winning prize money towards a project for their schools’ development.”
She contended that the Company is keen on supporting the sport on an annual basis, something that Abukhalil confirmed.
