CFA lacks exposure: Ex-players
Chandigarh, September 25 Recently, two international players of CFA Nishu Kumar and Simranjeet Singh opted to leave the academy, without informing anyone and without any fear of breaking the 7-years contract. They joined Indian Football Academy of All India Football Federation (AIFF), Navi Mumbai. Like every other player of this academy both the players were getting free education, living, sports-kit and every other basic facility. But what made them to run is only the lack of exposure and concern to secure their future. In Chandigarh for participating in the ongoing All-India level football championship while representing their new club both the players shared their past experience at CFA. "Academy has everything. First of all, the coaching aspect is unbeatable. No where in the nation, a kid of 10 to 12 years is groomed with a mindset of producing player for the nation. The infrastructure in Chandigarh is far better than the other cities and so is the approach. But what lacks is the approach to secure the academy's upbringing. There is no exposure, no tournament or any platform to perform. Practice twice a day is a must requirement but practice twice a day-for seven years and no tournaments to perform makes a player to think about. The academy is playing only one tournament per year and besides this only one inter-school championship, where no team matches the quality of academy, so what's the use of being here" said Simranjeet Singh, the right-sweeper, who is leading the AIFF club in this championship. When asked about his decision of leaving the academy, Nishu added, "No coach can match the work of Harjinder Sir. Even the AIFF club has three players from this very academy. But what is there after him? The academy has no match is Chandigarh but it only fails to provide the chances of bright future. After practicing here for seven years, 2 or 4 from 11 players play for the nation and what about the rest of the players? There is nothing for them in the academy. The latest news over sir (Harjinder Singh) retirement and my future (while staying here with this CFA academy) has made me to leave the institution. I have no personal grudges but the moment a 12-year-old child turns up to a 16-year old player, he always looks for option to get better so, I took my decision to grab the opportunity to attach with the AIFF" said Nishu, who is playing as the main left- sweeper for the AIFF. When asked about their view of leaving the CFA's contract in between, the duo mentioned, "We don't know whether our parents have received any notices from the UT Sports Department or not but now that we have a AIFF stamp with us, our new club will deal with all this” and when asked about the approach of authorities, they said, “We are just concern to our alma mater, our future and new club” said both. Notably, as per the brochure distributed during the opening of Administrator's football cup, the UT Sports Department receives a funding of nearly Rs 40 lakhs and spends about a one lakh annually on each boy of the Chandigarh Football Academy. Besides this every facility that includes, admission in school, boarding-lodging, uniforms, books, sports wear, medical aid are provided to them. Each boy is also covered with an insurance policy of Rs 50,000. But what they fail to do is, holding back the talent. Sports secretary VK Singh said "What can we do if the boys are leaving our academy? If the players are getting good money, they just go. What can we do," but unaware of the reality, top official of the UT Administration failed to explain that if a player is receiving such A-class facilities in a city like Chandigarh, why he will opt to leave. |
