Dilsher Singh, a young city
footballer, on Friday won a one-year
sponsored trip to Brooke House Football
Academy after he was adjudged the
winner of the inaugural Sports Esprit
Academy skill challenge.
The 16-year-old will spend a year
training at the Brooke House with all
his expenses being borne by the Esprit
Academy. "It is a dream come true for
me," said an elated Dilsher, who was
picked as the best footballer among the final 17 players.
The selection was made on the basis of
more than a month-long programme
organised by the Academy at
Chhatarsal Stadium, where around 3000
participants in the age category of
14-16 years were tested for their football skills, CEO of Esprit Academy,
Sandeep Khinda, said.
Depending upon their natural ability
and flare for the game, the coaches
picked up 17 kids for the finals, he
added. "We have committed ourselves to
encourage the young talented football
players and transforming their dreams
into reality.
We are looking forward to
visit India every year and select one
child for this prestigious scholarship," said one of the coaches and head of
international football development at
Esprit Academy, Anish Khinda.
