JAMMU, April 22: Under the banner of J&K Football Association (JKFA), the state women football team today left for 19th Senior National Football Championship to be held at Bhilai in Chhatisgarh from April 25.
“Comprised of 20 women footballers from different parts of the state, the J&K team shall take on Tripura in their opening group match on April 26. It will be followed by competitions against Uttranchal on April 28 and Goa on April 30,” resident secretary of JKFA Jammu wing, Surinder Singh Bunty told SAN.
The team is accompanied by Roohi as incharge while Moon Stephen has been nominated as coach.
The Team: Upasna Khajuria, Reetu Gill, Ifla Gulzar, Shalini Dogra, Umani Shah, Mansha Shabir, Manisha Gurung, Neetika Thapa, Rekha Masih, Pooja Rani, Khushboo Salpona, Babra Khan, Hadia Manzoor, Urvashi Thappa, Shaheem Basharat, Teena Sabotra, Sheeba Majid, Seerat Shafi, Rumaisa Maqbool and Soboora Mushtaq.
Council criticised
Meanwhile, the JKFA criticized the J&K State Sports Council for their `dictatorial’ attitude towards sports. “Instead of encouraging the participation of women at the national level, the State Sports Council has played a negative role with regard to sponsorship of the team. The Chief Sports Officer of the Council failed to report the venue, GGM Science College for screening of the team despite repeated requests by the Association. So, we request the Sports Minister to look into the matter and take action against the dictatorial attitude of the official concerned.”
