Goa club hit hard
Margao: The All India Football Federation's (AIFF) decision to revoke its
ban on foreigners in the second division of the NFL had an immediate
impact on the Goa Football Association (GFA) as Cabral Sports Club, the
only Goan club to qualify for the second tier, submitted a letter to the
GFA informing their decision to disband the team.
In a letter to the GFA, president of the club Francisco Cabral, stated
that the earlier AIFF ban on foreign players had deprived them of a chance
to qualify for the premier league as they had two foreigners who are now
playing for Fransa.
"Now that the AIFF has revoked its decision, we have no quality players as
nine of our boys have signed in inter-state transfer," he said. (PTI)
