EB academy opening in Salt Lake, Kolkata from 1st September. Ranjan Choudhury to be the director, CA block ground has been leased on long term basis by EB. It's a residential academy with housing and schooling facility available to pupils.
CA block Ground is just your average play ground. Yes, it is big but the turf is not meant for football. Not saying it is not a significant achiement but this is for those who might expect a lot in terms of facilities. The good thing might be that the academy will bring out the talents from Kolkata and neighborhood, the good ones will probably be taken in AIFF academies or tfa.
East Bengal yesterday announced a profit of ₹7 lakhs for the last year. The club passed its budget in the meeting of executive council. It has been unheard of in Kolkata clubs circle to actually make a profit so this indeed was a surprise specially when one account of the club remains frozen by CBI/ED with 1.8 crores in it.
