Football assn keeps team in dark
Chandigarh, April 15 Head coach of the academy said the organisers have posted the invitational letter, addressed on the name of the Chandigarh Football Academy, to the secretary, head of the local football association. But the officials have failed to deliver the invitation. Interestingly, the last date of sending the entry ended today evening and after interfering, on own, the Chandigarh Football Academy sent their entry, at the eleventh hour. Their procedure of last minute entry kept the players and the coach on toes. “This is a sheer foolishness. The organisers had sent the invitation 10 days ago and we have received it today, on the last day at 10 am. We were not aware of the exact situation until we made a call to the organisers. After learning that the letter is lying with the official for the past 10 days, we were shocked. The official is managing an association. But his carelessness might cost us our tournament,” said Harjinder Singh, former skipper of Indian football team and coach of Chandigarh Football Academy. Last year, the boys (U-15) team of the Chandigarh Football Academy had won the Indian league of the invitational Manchestar United international Soccer Junior Cup. The team won the north zone league at Jameshedpur, All-India league in Goa and later they brought laurels after reaching in the semi-finals of the international edition event of the same tournament, held at Indonesia. The chief coach said when they contacted the secretary of the association for providing the letter he refused to give it after mentioning that the team has not participated in the Mir Iqbal Hussai Trophy for Boys (U-16). But when the coach asked that this invitational tournament was for boys (U-15) and has no concern with the state boys (U-16) tournament, the secretary asked them to wait till morning. “After knowing about the status, we contacted the official of the association and he made excuses in giving us the letter. He mentioned that the Chandigarh Football Academy has not participated in the state meet. But when inquired that the tournament is entirely different from the Manchester Cup, he asked us to wait till morning. Later, realising the blunder, he gave us the letter this morning,” said Harjinder. Adding further, “Due to this kind of attitude, the football in city is dying. These players, who make city’s name proud at national level, are treated with this stuff. They are disheartened,” said he. |
