The two young soccer stars we introduce this week are goalkeeper, Miqdad Ali Rafique and striker, Zayyan Ahmed. The pair share enthusiasm for maths at CIS, also admiring Spanish giants, Real Madrid and their favorite international player, Cristiano Ronaldo. Although the lads share many similarities, their career dreams are worlds apart, but while their paths may differ, their drive to succeed remains the same. Whether it’s Miqdad Ali fighting cases in court or Zayyan reciting the Holy Quraan beautifully as a Hafiz, also fighting for goals on the pitch, both boys are determined to make their mark in life. The Laudium Sun wishes the pair all the very best as they pursue their dreams and goals with discipline and heart. Good luck guys!!
