SHILLONG: In what will be a first of its kind, three promising I-League players of Shillong Lajong Football Club ,Eugeneson Lyngdoh, Lalramluaha and Lalthuammawia Ralte , will be travelling to Denmark to undergo a training programme at Denmark based club, FCV Vikings with which the Reds have a tie-up.
The announcement of this trip was made earlier this year in Kolkata after Shillong Lajong FC entered into an agreement with Anglian Holdings Sports and Marketing, a Dubai based, NRI owned Multi National Corporation, which is the first FDI Investment in Indian Football, with diverse global investments.
The trio will leave Shillong on Saturday and will be in Denmark till July 29. They will have access to the best training facilities and will look to make full use of this international exposure. The trip will also serve as an exercise to gauge the standards of the Indian League players,as the three boys seek to gain valuable international experience from this opportunity.
In the last 2 years, Shillong Lajong Football Club has achieved a torch bearing feat of sending an astounding 23 of its junior players to foreign soil to train and play in some of the world’s best known clubs such as Manchester United, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich. However, the Denmark trip will be the first time that the Club is sending its I-league players abroad.
SLFC general secretary Larsing Ming Sawyan, said that “the trip will serve as a platform to provide SLFC and its players an insight into European club football and the players can learn a lot from this experience.”
Shillong lad Eugenson Lyngdoh said, “It will be a new experience,and i am eagerly looking forward to it.
We have heard so much about European players,and to actually get to play alongside them will take my playing to a new level.It will also equipped me with better skills and knowledge to grow as a footballer”.
