Will groom this team for Olympics 2024 ?? WTF does this mean ???
We should probably be concentrating on having a good U-20 & U-17 leagues with ISL. I-League, 2nd Division & State league team/Academy divided into different zones.
Then select A & B Youth NT teams give them good exposure and keep continuing for the future batches.
Delhi Dynamos’ Elite Youth Teams set to feature in the I-League
The youth teams of the ISL club will be a part of their respective age category I-League for the upcoming season
Indian Super League side Delhi Dynamos FC has decided to launch three new youth teams in different age groups: U-13s, U-15s and U-18s. The Elite Teams will compete in the upcoming I-League season in their respective age category, that is set to start from October and will also be a part of various other youth tournaments.
After a rigorous scouting program by the youth coaches of Delhi Dynamos, the team’s academy now boasts of talented youngsters from across India. Former Mohun Bagan and Salgaocar Defender, Rishi Kapur has been handed the reigns for the U-18s, while Promod Rawat and Gigi Jose will take charge of the U-15s and U-13s respectively.
Kapur who holds an AFC B License will be accompanied by former Tata Football Academy graduate Sandeep as the assistant for the U-18s.
“This is a great opportunity for these youngsters to start playing at a competitive level in the initial stages of their career. There is a proper youth structure in place at the club which will give the kids an opportunity to flourish,” Delhi Dynamos Head Coach Miguel Angel Portugal said.
The Elite Teams will not only serve as a pathway for the youngsters to make it into the first team of the club, but will also help the kids to grow as a footballer by competing at a professional stage from the very beginning.
As long as this happens, situations like the one Basumallik faced when he was team doctor for the Bengal team at an U-16 tournament at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack are likely to recur. "The day we reached, I realised I had left my scissors behind," he says. "I had to go to find some blades, because you have to strap over the rings before games. I went to the shops around the periphery of the stadium, but all the blades were out of stock, because all the teams had a sudden urge to shave!"
Belgium is envy of the world as far as success of their Footballers is concerned. Lots of young players, mostly of immigrant backgrounds from African countries like Morocco or Congo start playing Football at an early age. The 2nd photo is of the ground of a mulitsorey flat building which gave Benteke, Witsel. Football culture is important and so are the efforts and direction by governing body.
