The Goa Football Association (GFA) today condemned the Goa Football Development Council’s (GFDC) attempt to influence selection of players for the Sub-Junior State squad which will represent Goa in the Sub-Junior National Football Championship 2017-18 for Boys (West Zone) to be held from August 20 to 25, 2017 in Goa.
The President of GFA, Elvis Gomes, said that any sane person who understands sports will know that selection is the prerogative of the coaching team alone and questioned the attempt by GFDC to influence the coaches to select particular players.
“We do not know who are in this GFDC. But people like Brahmanand Sankhwalkar and Sanjiv Nagvenkar who know the game should advise these ignorant loud mouths about the nuances. If they wish to be part of the coaching team they are welcome next time” said GFA president Elvis Gomes.
“The whole Executive Committee has expressed their confidence in the coach. These are attempts to demoralize the team before the Nationals. We have age old clubs who are doing strong grassroot programs. Though they are the GFA’s members, they would never interfere in the selection. Who is this GFDC to tell us?” added the GFA president Elvis Gomes.
The GFA president further said that the Government of Goa could chalk out a better policy for football development if it is interested instead of wasting tax payers money on cake cutting and picnics.
