By Paritosh Pramanik

YOUNG Muslim Football Club (YMFC) released eight players but brought in 11, mostly from Nagpur Academy Football Club (NAFC), for the new season of JSW Elite Division Tournament of Nagpur District Football Association.
Similarly, Qidwai Sports, too, decided to go on a shopping spree as they also managed to get their hands on 11 players from various clubs.
Defending champions YMFC, despite losing eight of their best players which included striker Blesjon Saji, Sakeeb Anwar, Mohd Gulab Imran and Mohd Afzal Akhtar, to name a few, added more firepower bringing in players from NAFC.
After the closer of transfer window, NAFC was the biggest loser as they had to do away with 11 of their best in the business to various clubs of the top most division. Qidwai Club also tried to bolster their side for the coming season by signing 11 players from various clubs which included Big Ben Football Club, NAFC, Eagle FC, Green Flag FC an Nagpur Blues.
Rahul Sanskrutyayan Club managed to bag the services of YMFC’s Saji and promoted two players from their feeder team Rahul Brothers Sports Club in Arickswamy Anthony and Badal Soren.
Soren, a student of Hislop College, was selected for the selection trials for the 47th Asian School Football Championship.
“Soren is a very talented player. He has just returned to the city after appearing for the second trial at Bhopal. We have a very balance side and with Saji coming in, the forward line would get more teeth,” said Rahul Sanskrutyayan’s manager Stanley Gregory.
Big Ben FC too tried to strengthen their side with signing of Mohd Faizan and Gifson Saji from Nagpur City Football Club, Chirag Naidu from Sadar FC and Arjun Roka from YMFC. Rabbani Club, Kamptee, in an attempt to wipe out their title drought, brought in seven players, which included five from YMFC.
