ASK Ahmad Athallah Araihan

When did you start playing football?

Since kindergarten, my parents enrolled me in a youth football academy.

What is your motivation in playing football?

Because everyone in my dad's family, from my grandfather to his children and grandchildren, loves football. It's probably passed down from generation to generation. I also want to elevate the status of my parents and family through football.

What does a supporter mean to you?

To me, a supporter is like the 12th player on the field. They support us whether we win or lose.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of being a football player?

The small community and meeting new people. Wherever you go, you always have connections through football.

Who is the most inspiring figure in the football world for you?

It's my dad. He used to play football in the village but never got the chance to become a professional player. So, it's my goal to fulfill his dream and become a professional player.

What are your hopes for Indonesian football?

I hope that the leagues will develop well, which will, in turn, result in a strong national team.

If you weren't a football player, what would be your other dream?

Maybe becoming a police officer or an entrepreneur, haha.

First impression when you tried on Ortuseight shoes for the first time?
