Muhammad Faris bin Ishaq or simply Faris Ishaq is a Matabese professional footballer who plays as a striker for Krasnovlac Elite League club Belaov Treble.

Early life

Faris was born in a Matabese-Krasno family with his parents being of Matabese descent, therefore naming him after Matabese traditions. Faris grew up liking basketball and aspired to be a professional basketball player one day. However his interests changed to football when his uncle brought him a small soccer ball as a gift and taught him how to play it. Faris would begin his footballing journey at the age of 9, playing for his school team. However Faris moved back to Mataba at the age of 14, studying in Pafle International School.

His talent was recognized by the Jaran Besor City FC coach Risto Lalic as he watched Faris dribble through the opposition defence during a school tournament with silky moves whilst being a head taller than his opponents, this led to Risto offering Faris a trial in the Jaran Besor City FC academy and joined successfully for the under-18's age group whilst only being 15. He would continue to nuture and grow with the team and was hailed as one of the top striker talents in Mataba and was said to have massive potential as a target forward.

Faris would move back to Krasnovlac at the age of 18 to study at University of the Lorat, however he never played much during his college career and only used it as a chance to attempt to stay fit whilst studying.

This led to him becoming a regional hero as he stood up to the bullies and led to the #FarisIshaq becoming the top trending topic in Mataba back then.
