Andhra Pradesh and Telangana got their first 11-a-side artificial football ground of FIFA pro quality at Sreenidhi football village near Aziz Nagar. The ground, inaugurated on Thursday, opens up new horizons and possibilities for football players in both states to enhance their skills.
The new ground is made with Field turf from the USA, which provides a natural feel for the players with high performance and stability. The turf enables a perfect performance mechanism for the players by adapting to various movements of the ball.
The same quality is used by European top clubs like FC Barcelona and Arsenal FC at their training facilities.
All India Football Federation (AIFF) CEO (leagues) Sunando Dhar said that SDFC is poised to have a ripple effect in Indian football with its multiple programmes and innovative coaching methodologies.
He further noted the finest football facilities and player amenities that the club provides to create a nurturing environment for the players to emerge as winners at global tournaments.
Telangana Football Association (TFA) president Rafath Ali praised the initiative taken by the club to refine and upgrade the football infrastructure with artificial football grounds.
He then highlighted the importance of a proactive approach towards the development of football facilities in Telangana to enable and equip the players to be moulded into world-class champions.
SDFC is playing in the Hero I-League in the 2021-2022 season. As part of the inauguration ceremony, a friendly between SDFC vs Abbas Union was held, which was won by SDFC 8-1.
