The team, led by its captain Azim Ahmad, will face USA, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Sweden & other youth teams from all over the world at Gothenburg stadium in Sweden. 4 officials of the team including its Coach Basil Basheer accompanied the team.

Shoaib is participating under-18 category in the World Youth Championship at Gothenburg in Sweden. Shoaib, representing JSC, is contesting in Group 7 in which teams from America, Denmark and Spain took part & his team's first playoff is against Spain & then Denmark and America respectively.

Shoaib is fond of football since childhood. He took part in various interschool & other football tournaments in Riyadh, Jeddah & other parts of the Kingdom & bagged many trophies & prizes. He not only restricted his games to only football, but also participated & pocketed many cups in the athletics.

Mangaluru, May 19: Officials at the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC) said that Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada along with Kodagu, Chikkamagaluru have been alerted about possible heavy rains.

Dr GS Srinivasa Reddy, Director, KSNDMC, said, “Coastal districts have already been witnessing heavy downpour since Monday morning. This will continue for another two days depending on the cyclonic movement along the east coast.”

Until last evening, Haleyangadi and Surathkal in Dakshina Kannada district had received 83 mm and 82.5 mm of rainfall, respectively. Several other areas in Udupi also witnessed heavy rainfall of about 60 to 70 mm rainfall.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) attributed the rain, which intensified on Monday, to a cyclonic circulation over parts of the Arabian Sea (Comorin area) off the coast of Kerala.

The weather department said the sudden convergence of wind over the peninsular region was due to Super Cyclone Amphan, which is set to barrel into the east coast. The IMD issued an Yellow Alert for coastal Karnataka and Malnad, warning of moderate to heavy rainfall in the next few days.
