Real Kashmir FC
In another first for promoted I-League side Real Kashmir FC, one of its youth teams is set to visit Germany to train at Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund’s Evonik Football School (BVB Evonik-Fußballschule).
Real Kashmir FC owners Sandeep Chattoo and Shamim Meraj say they are just “carrying on from where we left” last season.
“We were the first team from Kashmir to play in Scotland. We are now the first youth team from Kashmir to visit Germany for a training camp,” the club said in a statement.
“We also want to thank Borussia Dortmund for giving a small club like RKFC an opportunity to visit them and train at their football school. The boys will also visit the Signal Iduna Park as well as the Jammu and Kashmir’s.”
“We want Real Kashmir to be what Barcelona is to Spain and what United is to Manchester and what BVB is to the city of Dortmund. We what every kid of the state, who loves to play football, either aspire to play for RKFC or become a supporter by default.
“It’s just the beginning,” Chattoo put it appropriately.
