In this edition of ‘Sporting Stars of Tomorrow,’ we shine the spotlight on Mohammed Dawood and Alion Shahzad, who share a school (PMT College) and a soccer club (Delfos FC), but who are clearly walking down very different paths of ambition. Swift left-back Mohammed, keeps things tight at the back of the field while dreaming of someday cruising in a fleet of JDM cars, also wanting to buy a Mazda Rx7, while defender on the field, Alion’s true dream lies in a boxing ring. Admiring famous boxer, Muhammad Ali, Alion wants to become a professional boxer, not just for fame, but to uplift the poor as well. The Laudium Sun wishes the pair everything of the very best as their journeys unfold and their desire to succeed sees Mo on the move and Ali in the ring. Good luck guys!!
