U Dream Football’s scouting programme recently concluded their scouting program in Goa. U Dream Football Programme was launched last year in association with German Bundesliga side TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.
Last season, U Dream conducted school tournaments in 46 cities to scout for the country’s best U-15 talent. Selected boys would then get a chance to go and train at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim’s facilities for six years.
This season, to be able to make a bigger impact, U Dream Football conducted clinics with a select list of organizations across the country. The 2-3 day clinics were led by German coaches from TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, where they briefly trained the talents to work on different aspects of their game, as well as scout for exceptional talent to be enrolled into the programme.
The shortlisted players from Goa include Malcolm Mervin Gonsalves, Aaron Savio Alvares, Vijay Rathod, Nikhil Gurung, Darren Rebello, Sweden Fernandes, Ronsen Soares, Akshat Gopal Hadkonkar, Antonio Dylan Inacio Da Silva, Hansel Alister Coelho.
