KATHMANDU: Rohit Shrestha was declared the winner of the United We Play initiative.
Shrestha earned a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit Old Trafford to participate in exciting activities like a match-day experience, training sessions with Manchester United Soccer School coaches, and interactions with Manchester United Legends.
A total of 435 aspiring footballers took part in the Nepal edition of the on-ground grassroots football initiative, supported by Manchester United.
"The theme for this edition of United We Play, as envisioned by Apollo Tyres and Manchester United, is to enable access to global standards in player development by engaging the youth via sport and helping them perform at their best," said the organisers in a release.
Apollo Tyres Country Head Rajesh Dash said: "It was a first of its kind of event initiated by Apollo Tyres and Manchester United in Nepal for the grassroots football development, engaging the youth."
