SFA finds no merit in Boys Club complaint against Siniolchu


GANGTOK, 02 August: The Sikkim Football Association has dismissed as invalid a written complaint lodged by the Manager of Boys Club alleging two players of Siniolchu Club, Namchi of being foreign nationals.
An SFA release informs that the Boys Club Manager had lodged a written complaint along with Rs.1,000 as protest fee, alleging that two Siniolchu Club players were originally from Nepal and had been fielded without valid transfer papers.
This matter was referred to the Manager and the Coach of Siniolchu Club who claimed that the two are regular students of New Light Academy, Namchi and accordingly produced certificates to this effect from the Principal. Further, Panchayat Member, Mamley Kamrang GPU, Lower Kamrang, South Sikkim has also issued certificates stating that the two are bonafide residents of Lower Kamrang, South Sikkim.
“The association has no record what so ever which proves that these boys are from Nepal and if at all they hail from Nepal as alleged they can not be categorized as Foreign Players as claimed and discussed in the Managers meeting held on 09 July, 2012,” the SFA release states.
The meeting also agreed to allow students from Bhutan, Nepal and other neighboring countries who are studying in Sikkim to be registered as local players on production of certificate from the concerned Principal of the school/ college.
“The club officials are advised to be more responsible and retrospective in such decisions to which their representative is a party undermining the wisdom and authority of the state association and the up-liftment of football in Sikkim,” the release further conveys.
