Churchill to set up academy
Panaji: Goan heavyweight Churchill Brothers will set up a football academy at Cana Bednaulim near here in association with former Liverpool midfielder-turned-commentator Steve McMohan.
The academy will have an Asian Football Confederation (AFC)-approved class ‘A' stadium with 5,000-strong capacity.
The Goa Government has provided land on a 33-year lease for the institute.
Churchill, which has tied up with the Steve McMohan Football Academy (SMFA) for the project, plans to select 240 boys from all over the country in the age groups of under-8, 10, 12, 14 and 16, each consisting of 22 players.
The boys will have to stay at the academy, to be known as the Steve McMohan Churchill Brothers Football Academy, for a five-year period before moving on. They will be trained by coaches from the SMFA and their education will be looked after by the institute.
The boys will be given international exposure and play against age group teams in Europe, Latin America and Africa.
The Goa outfit also plans to organise a tournament, Churchill International Cup, once the academy is put in place. — PTI
