Loss Of Jamshedpur FC Major Blow To Indian Football, Says Gurpreet Singh Sandhu
Gurpreet Singh Sandhu: India goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu on Sunday expressed deep sadness over Jamshedpur FC's decision to discontinue operations, adding that the development is a ‘major loss’ for Indian football and appealed to the Tata Group to reflect on the move.
The Tata Group-owned franchise recently announced that it would withdraw from the Indian Super League (ISL) following the conclusion of their ongoing Durand Cup campaign. With its decision to not continue in the ISL, the Tata Group's footprint in Indian Football is now reduced to running the Jamshedpur-based Tata Football Academy.
"Some clubs represent far more than football. They stand for stability, belief, and long term commitment to the game’s growth. The decision for @jamshedpurfc to discontinue first-team operations is a major loss, not just for the club but for Indian football as a whole," Gurpreet wrote in a post on his Instagram account on Sunday.
