Players leave football academy
Chandigarh, July 18 The players (names withheld) left the academy after receiving formal invitations from the Tata Football Academy, Jamshedpur, and All India Football Federation's Junior Soccer School, Pune. The players got the offers based on their recent performances at various national and local tournaments. "After inquiring into the whole matter, the department has written a letter to both the academies, mentioning the entire episode. The players went on their own without informing the authorities or any officials. They are under a seven-year contract, and cannot leave the academy as per the contract," said JDS Sidhu, joint director, UT sports department. If they wanted to leave the academy, they had to give a valid reason and submit a requisite amount under the contract, Sidhu said. "Our lawyer is also preparing a legal notice and the department will soon knock the doors of the lower court," he said. When asked whether the academy would accept back the players, Sidhu said: "Yes sure, after all they are our product, though they have taken a wrong step. They are being provided with all facilities and all of them are important part of the academy." Many soccer experts are calling it a bold step on the part of the players, taken to secure their future. "These days players know their value. It is a trend at the CFA that players are used for seven years and after that they are left on their own. There is no harm if these three players took the step in order to secure their future. The Tata Football Academy and the venture of AIFF are among the best options for a junior-level player. The players are not getting any international exposure at the CFA that could keep them interested in this academy," said a soccer enthusiast. An official of the sports department said the department would organise the UT Administrator Soccer Cup in September and there were many more tournaments lined up in future. The team had performed well in the recent talent cup organised for boys (U-15) by Manchester United football club and was expecting to carry on this performance in the future too, he said. "Two players are already in the national squad and loss of these three players will be a real shock for this batch. The authorities should concentrate on certain steps, so that the team continues to play without any disturbance," the official added. |
