According to Shafeeq Hassan, assistant coach of Kannur Warriors Football Club, the players who participated in the ‘Game Changer’ three-day training have the potential to reach a high level. He stated that they currently require more training. Those who demonstrated excellent performance at the camp will train with the senior team starting September 1st. The coach added that all participants have the potential to play for Kannur Warriors in the future and should work hard towards that goal. Ten players from Kannur district alone participated in the three-day football training camp.
The senior team training will commence on September 1st. Currently, the team includes five players from Kannur: goalkeepers Ubaid C.K. and Mithun V, defenders Sachin Suni and Ashwin Kumar, and winger Mohammed Sanad.
