My journey as a football player began with the Negombo Youth Football Club in 1982. I entered the football administration in 1996, becoming the President and the sole sponsor of Negombo Youth Football Club (“NYFC”).

In 2000, I was able to make a historical move in Sri Lankan Football history by introducing professional football via contracts to football players in the NYFC and other players in Sri Lanka, similar to the players’ contracts adopted by the developed football nations of the world.

NYFC became the National Level Champions of Premier League tournament, FA Cup, Champion of Champions, Futsal Cup, Beach Football during the last 17 years under the my leadership.
