Ilhan started playing soccer at U9 level for the All Stars Football Club.
Owner of All Stars, Muhammed Boeta Bhamjee said this is a huge milestone for our club. “As our players progress, we pray they will one day play on the professional stage.”
Speaking to Laudium Today, Ilhan’s parents, Faaiz and Shaista Khan we’re excited and said, “We wish him all the best and he shouldn't be afraid to reach for his goals no matter how out of reach it seems... he must remember that we will always be there to support him. We also want to thank Laudium All Stars for giving Ilhan the exposure that got him here in the first place.”
Ilhan is the grandson of veteran soccer player Omar Aboo (Oomza).
