Ezra Walian lives for the game, both on and off the pitch. His mornings begin before sunrise, driving from Surabaya to Kediri for training sessions that sharpen his skills and prepare him for the week’s matches. Football is a discipline, a passion, and a rhythm that structures his life—but it isn’t all there is. He finds balance in quiet routines: a walk, a coffee with his wife, or hours spent on the padel court.
Padel, a racket sport, with elements similar to tennis and squash, has become more than a hobby for him. As co-owner of Jungle Padel in Bali, Ezra is invested in growing the sport locally. He delights in seeing players challenge themselves, discovering new strengths, and sharing in the joy of learning within the community.
Football milestones have left unforgettable marks in him. Winning the 2024 Liga 1 title with Persib Bandung sparked citywide celebrations, and representing Indonesia internationally remains a deeply personal honour. But life has also delivered heartbreak—losing his mother as a child, and the devastating loss of his son, Novayo. These moments have forged resilience, gratitude, and a sharper focus on what truly matters.
Whether sprinting down the pitch, smashing a shot on the padel court, or tackling a new venture, Ezra approaches everything with intensity, curiosity, and authenticity. He plays hard, works harder, and keeps life moving forward, fully present in every challenge and triumph. Ezra wears the Hublot Big Bang 20th Anniversary Titanium Ceramic.
