Winners of the individual awards — “Most Valuable Player,” “Best Goalkeeper,” “Best Defender,” “Best Midfielder,” and “Best Forward” — across all tournaments will each receive 200,000 tenge from the League’s partner, Freedom Bank.

“Becoming the best forward of the tournament is a huge joy and responsibility for me. It shows that the effort I put in throughout the season was recognized. This victory motivates me to work even harder at the next stage.

The season wasn’t easy, but it gave me truly important experience. Second place in the championship is the result of tremendous work by the whole team. Of course, we wanted first place, but as a group we made a massive step forward.

The biggest discovery for me was the rapid progress of the team and the character we had to show in difficult matches. The brightest moments were the intense games where everything was decided in the final minutes. Such matches reveal emotions, responsibility, and willpower.

My main goal for next season is to raise my level of play and become a champion. I want to improve my consistency and decision-making.

As for the prize money — I’ll buy the sports equipment I need, and the rest I’ll give to my parents.

My wishes to the boys debuting in the League next year? The most important thing is not to be afraid. The League is an incredible opportunity to show yourselves. Work hard, listen to your coaches, respect your team. Every match is new experience. I wish all of them courage, confidence, and great progress,” he told the league's official website.
