Eighteen-year-old Raydon Krammer, a rising football sensation from Kamarang-Warawatta, continues to make headlines as he forges a remarkable path in sports and academics. On Sunday night, Krammer achieved a historic milestone, becoming the first player to win the prestigious KFC Goodwill International Football Tournament with two different schools.

After claiming his first title in 2022 with DC Caesar Fox Secondary School, Krammer replicated the feat this year with Chase’s Academic Foundation by beating familiar foes St Benedict’s College (Trinidad), where he also earned the coveted Most Valuable Player (MVP) award. His MVP win comes with a fully funded three-month training stint at the Academia de Futebol Real Brasil in Brazil, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that he plans to seize with both hands.
