THE HAGUE - Tributes poured in on Friday for ADO Den Haag rising youth star Kairan"Max" Wang who drowned two weeks ago in the North Sea near The Hague.
The drowning was widely reported after Wang went missing while swimming with two friends in Monster, south-west of the city, but his name was only revealed on Thursday as the football club held a memorial service. "It is with great sorrow and deep regret that we learnt of the sudden death of our youth player Max Wang, at the age of only 15 years," the club said in a statement.
"He was a highly social and esteemed guy who was in the prime of his life, both on and off the field," club director Mohammed Hamdi said.Wang, a Year 10 student at the International School of The Hague, moved to the Netherlands five-and-a-half years ago from China.Earlier this year he was called to join China's national Under-16 camp but could not go because of the coronavirus outbreak, ADO said.
