India Camp for Nehru Cup returns to Greater Noida's Jaypee Greens

The 27-member Senior Indian National squad shifted base to Jaypee Greens in Greater Noida today for the final-leg of their preparatory camp ahead of the forthcoming 2012 Nehru Cup in New Delhi. The squad was earlier based in Bangalore where they have been training for close to a fortnight under new national coach Wim Koevermans.

The 2012 Nehru Cup will kick-off on Wednesday, August 22 with the hosts and defending champions India slated to play Syria in the opening match at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium at 19.00 IST.

"We have had a fruitful training session in Bangalore so far. The boys have been cooperative and have displayed great attitude," Wim Koevermans said on arrival in the National Capital Region.

"As we shift base to Delhi-NCR, we will be training at the Jaypee Greens in Greater Noida. Hopefully the weather stays good as the last week stays very crucial," The Dutchman added.

Torrential monsoon rains had forced Wim Koevermans to shift base to the KSFA Football Stadium's artificial turf after training for a day at the Jaypee Greens in early-August.
