AFC Futsal Asian Cup
Ahmad played a key role in helping Indonesia to their first ever final, and the 25-year-old helped the hosts kick off their campaign in the best possible manner by keeping a clean sheet in their 5-0 win over Korea Republic.
“Winning this award was something unexpected but I’m thankful for the honour. Hopefully, this can be the turning point for Indonesian futsal and we can be better and better in the future," said Ahmad.
Indonesia conceded four goals in the group stage but it was in the knockout stage that Ahmad needed to be at his best to take the host nation to a final appearance.
His instinctive saves and razor-sharp reflexes in the quarter-final and semi-final ties against Vietnam and Japan respectively proved instrumental in booking Indonesia a ticket to the final, where he made a string of superb saves against Islamic Republic of Iran.
