ITANAGAR: In an exciting news for football lovers in Arunachal Pradesh, UK-based Reading
FC has shown interest in exploring the football potential and groom the promising players of
the state.
A four-member delegation of the club met chief minister Nabam Tuki on Sunday at his New
Delhi office and discussed proposals for developing football in the state.
"Football is the favourite game in every corner of our state. Talent and passion are
immeasurable. We need proper guidance, training and exposure and I can assure you of world
class players," Tuki, a football player himself, told the delegation.
The club members also expressed their desire to do a talent search in the state and take subjunior level players under their umbrella.
Selected players would be then groomed and trained at the club's football academy in UK, officials said.
According to Reading FC CEO Nogel Howe, the club would send two coaches to Arunachal Pradesh for preliminary assessment immediately.
Howe, while explaining future plans for Arunachal, said if things work out, the club will take on the responsibility of propagating and developing the game by placing its coaches permanently in the state.
Meanwhile, the delegation also invited the chief minister to watch one of its matches in the ongoing Barclays Premier League in England.
