Êsêkïl dí Völará is a professional football coach and former player who is manager of the Farfadillis national football team. A dual citizen of Farfadillis and Kelssek, he 96 played times for the Kelssek national football team, most notably in Kelssek's loss in the World Cup 96 final. One of the top midfielders of his generation, many in Farfadillis maintain he would have made the difference had he been discovered and recruited to their national team before he'd committed to Kelssek. He began his club career at Association Ariddienne but is most well-known for his spell at Mâ Âlâmëómë.
Dí Völará's family was accepted as refugees in Kelssek during a civil war in Farfadillis. He began his career in the youth system of Association Ariddienne, the local sports club in the district of Outineau where he grew up, and played three years for the club's senior team during which they reached the quarterfinals of the Patriotes Cup and won promotion to the Kelssek Championship. He was called up to the Kelssek national football team and earned his first cap in a World Cup 87 qualifying match against Squidroidia, before earning a big move to Chromatika's Crossroads for a fee of USD 8 million. After five seasons there he signed with Mâ Âlâmëómë to mark a return to his country of origin, winning two Shango-Fogoa Premier League titles during his 13 years with the club.
After deciding to hang up his playing boots, dí Völará returned to Kelssek and earned a Football Kelssek professional coaching licence. He was then appointed head coach of the Kelssek men's under-23 team at the 19th Summer Olympics, where they outperformed expectations to win the silver medal. He then took on the assistant manager role at Langlois Oceanic for the 84th Kelssek Championship (203-04) season, helping coach the team to the Patriotes Cup.
