When FC Ulaanbaatar advanced from the Mongolian National Premier League to the AFC, Ecuadorian native Ana Coppiano had a front row seat to the Asian Football Club and insight to their claim of the MFF Cup.

After winning the premier league in 2023, Coppiano and professional soccer player Ty Humphreys are back in the United States developing HTM Soccer Training: whose one-on-one focus on player development and programs proffer clear pathways for youth players.
