India Camp for Nehru Cup to be held at Jaypee Greens

The Indian national team camp for the Platinum Jubilee Nehru Cup will kick-off at the Jaypee Greens Atlantis-The Club in Greater Noida from tomorrow. The venue was finalised after a meeting between officials from Jaypee Greens and the AIFF at Football House.

Here is what I had written earlier: India Camp set to be held at Greater Noida’s Jaypee Greens .

“All India Football Federation has never compromised when it comes to providing facilities to its footballers. National Coach Wim Koevermans had inspected the facilities himself and as the Campus provides excellent facilities which are conducive for good football, we felt it best to organise our Camp in India’s finest international standards sporting arena at Jaypee Greens, Greater Noida,’ AIFF General Secretary Kushal Das said.

“We are also looking at a long term association with them for future National Team camps,” Kushal Das added.

Koevermans complemented Das when he said, “The facilities at Jaypee Greens are very good!”

Koevermans has already named 37 players for the preparatory-and-selection camp including seven players who did duty for India in the AFC Under-22 Championship qualifiers in Muscat, Oman.

The 2012 Nehru Cup kicks-off on August 22 and the final is slated to be held on September 2.
