Ctg no more producing quality footballers

Sports Reporter, Ctg

The local football league in the Chittagong is organising regularly but quality footballers are not being produced for long time and the main hindrance is financial support to players and organisers commitments.
Chittagong once produced a number of quality booters from the Port City league who represented the national side but for a long time the quantity has become very poor.
About the reason behind not produced quality players, some of the local organisers, former players, and also journalists think despite the competitions of third division, second division, first division and the premier divisions are almost regularly organised but things are not going on according to plan.
The remunerations of players are also very poor and that is one of the main obstacles of producing players. Most of the players do not get enough money and due to this youngsters do not feel safe to play football.
One of the former footballers, Munirul Islam Pervej, who played football for about 18 years in the Port City League and also in Dhaka league for different teams said, “It is truth that the competitions from third division to premier division are orgasied regularly but no quality players are coming from that competitions.”
“Though I did not play in the national side but played in the country’s top level league in Dhaka and Chittagong and that time players were paid regularly and I think that was not so bad to take the game as profession.”
“But now a days, here in Chittagong clubs are participating in the league just to maintain the formalities, there is no specific contract with the players and do not pay enough money, so the coming days are not good for football.”
Pervej, now a media man also said, “If there would be any systematic way of contract and players would get proper payment to ensure them to take as a profession then the new generation will come to take the game as profession and quality players will be produced from them.”
Most of the senior sports journalists shared the same opinion and blamed the local football authority for not taking any realistic steps to inspire the youngsters to play football as did by late Iqbal Khan, father of national cricketers Tamim Iqbal.
