Bengaluru FC have named a 22-member squad for their U-17 Youth Cup campaign, which begins with a clash against Zinc Football Academy in Goa on Saturday, December 24.
Kaizad Ambapardiwala will lead the Bengaluru FC U-17 side into the tournament, where they are grouped alongside Churchill Brothers, ARA FC, Zinc Football Academy and FC Goa.
“I believe this is a good opportunity for our young players to test themselves against some of the best teams. We have worked hard in preparation for this tournament, and it will serve as a good marker for all of us in the youth development team to assess where we stand as a group. Some of these players are going to be knocking on the doors of the first team in the future, and this tournament provides the perfect exposure for that,” said Kaizad, on the eve of his side’s opener.
The Young Blues’ squad includes India U-17 National Team players Lalpekhlua and Lalhmingchhuanga, as well as Bengaluru FC Soccer Schools graduate Aarav Gharat. Kick-off between the Blues and Zinc Football Academy is scheduled for 3.30pm and will take place at the Benaulim Football Ground.
