Norway-Based Football Coach Conducts Training Session for Young Sri Lankan Players

Sipiman Manoharan, a player development coach at a football academy in Norway, conducted a special training session for young footballers in Sri Lanka.

The session was organised for young players from Colombo-based Renown Sports Academy and took place at the Colombo Police Grounds.

Manoharan, who was born in Vavuniya and later became a Norwegian citizen, said he hoped to conduct further training sessions in Sri Lanka to identify and develop promising young football talent.

The initiative is expected to provide young Sri Lankan players with exposure to international coaching methods and opportunities to improve their skills.

Renown Sports Club also had a notable presence in Sri Lanka's Under-15 squad at the recent Under-15 World Cup tournament, with five players from the club included in the national team.
