MY FAVOURITE SPORTS PERSON

An individual who loves sports surely, they have at least one favorite sport person in their life. An athlete may have inspired us so much that he or she has become our favorite athlete. For me, my favorite sports athlete is Arif Aiman bin Mohd Hanapi. Arif Aiman bin Mohd Hanapi also known as Arif Aiman who is a Malaysian footballer who plays as a striker for Johor Darul Ta'zim and the Malaysian national team. He was born on 4 May 2002 and is now 20 years old. Arif Aiman ​​is a Pahang -born who started digging for his talent when he joined the Mykids program around 2011 before he honed his talent at Akademi Mokhtar Dahari (AMD). At the end of 2018, Arif Aiman ​​has migrated to the Johor Darul Ta'zim Football Academy (JDT) for the purpose of career development in earning more minutes of play on the field. Arif Aiman's outstanding performance at Akademi Johor Darul Ta'zim in the Youth and President's Cup competition really paid off when he attracted the attention of Malaysia B18 squad coach, Bojan Hodak in early 2019. Next, on 14 March 2020, he made his first debut in the JDT senior squad against Felda United at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium. He was also selected as the most valuable player of the National Football Award (ABK) in 2021 and made history as the youngest player at the age of 19 to win the major award after Safawi Rasid at the age of 21. In addition, Arif was also named the Best Young Player in ABK 21 and now the transfer value of Arif Aiman ​​has reached RM1.4 million.
