AIFF Regional Academy, Navi Mumbai to play GM Police on Saturday

Victorious in the last nine games, AIFF Regional Academy - Navi Mumbai will take on Greater Mumbai Police tomorrow in their next friendly match at the Fr. Agnel’s Ground, Navi Mumbai. The Police Outfit is currently competing in the Super Division of the Mumbai Football League.

AIFF Regional Academy's Head Coach Sajid Dar lavished huge praise on his boys saying they have shown a lot of 'character'.

"We have won nine games in a row and the boys have shown a lot of character – especially to come back from behind in a couple of games. We need to remember that in such a developmental programme, results are not that important," Sajid told AIFF Media.

"The inspiring part stays that the boys have been playing against teams which are physically and mentally much stronger than them. All of their opponents are much superior outfits who have been competing and doing incredibly well in their Super and Elite Division matches in Mumbai," he added.

Former India International Aqeel Ansari, the Assistant Coach maintained, "GM Police are a good team. They boast of a lot of experienced players. We look forward to our boys to implement the tactics which are being stressed upon in training."

The kick-off tomorrow is at 4.30pm.
