Mizoram to have FIFA certified football ground soon
Mizoram sports minister Robert Romawia Royte on Saturday said that the state will soon have a FIFA certified football ground at Kolasib town near the Assam border.
Royte paid a visit and inspected the ongoing construction of Sports Authority of India (SAI) sports academy at Kolasib’s Saidan and the laying of artificial turf at the football ground there.
He was accompanied by supply minister and Kolasib MLA K Lalrinliana and Serlui MLA Lalrinsanga Ralte.
Royte said that the artificial turf, which is being laid at the SAI academy ground at Saidan, was certified by FIFA and is on the verge of completion.
“Mizoram will soon have its first FIFA certified football field,” he said, adding that apart from football, three more disciplines will be added at the under construction SAI sports academy at Saidan at Kolasib.
He expressed hope that the football field will greatly benefit sportspersons in the state.
The sports minister also visited Kawnpui and Vairengte in Kolasib district and inspected the feasibility of new sports infrastructure and upgrade of the existing infrastructure there.
He said that the existing football ground at Kawnpui will be upgraded to a standard ground by laying artificial turf. He inspected the feasibility of a standard basketball court and a standard volleyball court at Kawnpui, which are in the pipeline.
Royte said that the Mizo National Front (MNF) led state government would set up sports training centre at Vairengte on the Mizoram-Assam border in order to fulfil its pre-poll promise.
Royte, who also holds the tourism portfolio, said that the government is mulling to revive the construction of a tourist lodge at Kawnpuia, which has been abandoned.
A storm could be brewing in India’s top-flight soccer, a glamorous and acrimonious world that encompasses Asia’s richest man, the cream of Bollywood and a self-styled former gangster.
India's football coach Igor Stimac looks at Europe for eight-week camp
Coach Igor Stimac has identified three European countries for the FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifiers later this year, but much of the plans will depend on the coronavirus pandemic.
Should countries in Europe ease restrictions over air travel in the next one month, Stimac has identified Turkey, Croatia and Slovenia as the possible venues for training. Bhubaneswar continues to remain the preferred choice should the team be forced to train entirely at home.
“I will need eight weeks to prepare the team and also some friendlies, which we can arrange whether at home or away,” said Stimac.
Only Citizens from the following countries will be allowed into the EU’s 27 members and four other nations in Europe’s visa-free Schengen travel zone: Algeria, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Montenegro, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay.
The EU said China is “subject to confirmation of reciprocity,” meaning it must lift all restrictions on European citizens entering China before it will allow Chinese citizens back in.
Even US, Russia & Brazilian visitors are not allowed in EU countries..

Also India has restricted entry from most of EU countries.. It depends on mutual agreement and few non EU countries are allowing Indians with 14 days self quarantine..
