Playing friendlies against Thailand, Vietnam or Malaysia is not in SC's agenda. Reasons we all know. He may chose to play Nepal or Bhutan again & again.
Jharkhand FC All Set For 2nd Division I-League Entry
Jharkhand is all set to have a team for the first time in the
All India Football Federation initiated league structure at the
national level. Coming to represent the state in the 2nd
Division I-League is Jharkhand FC, to be based out of
Bokaro Steel City.
The affiliation with the Bokaro District Football Association
has been completed and the Jharkhand Football Association
is giving the club full support in its endeavour to uplift the
game in the state.
After this the club will go through the AIFF Licensing Criteria,
for which the management has already started work and are
confident of fulfilling it.
Speaking to the Media, founder of the club, Dr. Vishal Anand
said, “Jharkhand has always had the talent but lacked the
platform for the boys and girls to perform and go forward.
With Jharkhand FC, we hope to provide them the first step
towards professional football and from there on, other
teams can pick them up. Now that Jamshedpur FC is also
there, boys will have further opportunity to grow within the
step itself, without having to venture out.”
“We are looking for a suitable head coach and once we
finalise that, we will recruit his deputies and start our hunt
for talents. Our main objective is to have boys from states
like Jharkhand, Odisha, Bihar and the North East, though we
are open to any talent, irrespective of regions,” Dr. Vishal
added.
Jharkhand FC shall also field its U-13, U-15, U-18 teams in
the Youth I-Leagues and are also interested to make a cut in
the Women’s I-League.
“The initial formalities have been completed and now the
ground work begins. I have a solid Sports Management
group backing me up in this endeavour and they are going
to take it forward from here,” he added.
Jharkhand FC will be using the Bokaro SAIL Stadium as its
home for the upcoming season.
Awesome....tge talent from proper football schools like Gumla (not the img marketed weekend photops for rich kids) will now get a platform. I am happy. Best of luck. Bokaro is hardly an you from Ranchi and has a proper football stadium...no floodlights though
Malaysia NT is all about passionate fans. Sadly their team doesn't perform well in matchdays. They get good quality teams to play against unlike us cause they love football.
