Players Report to Nayeemuddin

All the players, except for defender Saikat and GM Mamun, of the 25-member national squad for the Nehru Cup reported to new coach Syed Nayeemuddin yesterday at the BFF Bhaban.

Chittagong Abahani defender Saikat and Khulna Abahani forward Mamun, could not report due to their commitments in the B. League. "Discipline is the main factor for footballers. All the top players of the world are like you. But discipline is the factor that drives them to success," Nayeemuddin told his squad.

"You will have to forget everything to fight for your country as our ultimate target is the SAFF Championship in December," he added.

The footballers will again report on July 24 and the camp is expected to start from August 1.
