Dhiren Dey owner of local company Dey’s Medical was a man with a Victorian taste, sullen face and a strict disciplinarian. Because of his reserved nature, the players not only fear him but respect him also.

Manas Bhattacharyya, ace football player of past who has spent many years donning green and maroon jersey during Dey’s tenure recalls his interaction with the than Hon’y General Secretary of this centenary old club. ‘He was genuine sports lover, great administrator and man with strict discipline’….. said Bhattacharyya with a very emotional voice.

Dhiren Dey, believed that Mohun Bagan is not just name of an ordinary sporting club but it is institution with great repute and dignity and club should maintain this under any circumstances. As head of this prestigious club he had enormous power at his hand but he never misused it and even he never utilized his Mohun Bagan for any personal business gain’.

Valerian Soccer Foundation, India’s only football study and research center is planning to hold a one day seminar in the memory of this legendary personality of Kolkata maidan as well as Indian sporting scenario.

Finding themselves down by a goal in the opening quarter, Mahindra United colts, who had picked maximum returns in their last match, looked much more purposeful and orderly in the second half en route to earning a solitary point from this difficult fixture with central midfielder Shadaab Rizvi restoring parity from a spot-kick in the closing stages.

While keeping up their fine run of form, though Pune FC U-19 who dropped points for the first time following back-to-back wins, have ensured their progress to the next stage with seven points while Mahindra United (5 points) and hosts JCT, who battle it out on Monday remain in contention to make the next grade

It was the inform side Pune FC, who started off brightly while taking an early lead from a set-piece situation and continue to enjoy the territorial advantage while Mahindra United colts regrouped and fought back strongly after resumption to shift the momentum.

The Final takes place at midday on Wednesday 19 May, when the top two teams will walk out at NIKE’s Hilversum Campus to battle for the title of Premier Cup Africa Champions and win a highly coveted place at the 2010 Manchester United Premier Cup (MUPC) World Finals in August.

Cameroon & Ajax Midfielder Enoh Eyong: "Africa is producing many talented young footballers across the continent and this tournament is a great forum for them to meet, compete - and learn from each other. I am particularly pleased to see teams from Cameroon participate for the first time so they too can benefit from international experience at a young age.

"I wish you all luck in Holland, enjoy yourselves, work hard and play with passion for your team, your country, and for Africa. Listen to your coach and learn everything you can. May the best team win and go all the way at the MUPC World Finals in Manchester!"

Cameroon’s Daga Young Stars FC secured their place in the Africa Qualifiers in emphatic style with a 4:1 win over Ased FC. The boys from Cameroon were so thrilled to book their place in Holland that they stayed on the pitch singing for an hour and Coach Ndigui Louis Cedard promises they will continue to “sing their way to qualification for Manchester!” He has no doubts about the competence of his young side but admitted: “cold weather could be a little problem but I’m sure the boys will adapt. I hope they will come back home having learned something - and having won a place in Manchester of course.”

Tunisia is also represented for the first time this year - by Esperance of Tunis, whilst Egypt’s ENPPI return to Holland for the third year in succession after beating Heliopolis 1:0. Spokesman Mohamed Ahmed Ismail is determined that his team: “learn and develop their skills on and off the field. They have a very strong team spirit, and always challenge themselves and the opposition. We want to win and don’t expect any problems – but will be watching the team from Ghana, who are fast and extremely fit for their age.”

Although hopeful that his young squad can once again go all the way to Manchester, Right to Dream’s Coach Johnny McKinstry is taking nothing for granted. “We are prepared for talented opponents, and know we will have to be at the top of our game to be successful. Some of the younger members of the team have shown great character and determination to rise through the ranks - I hope this continues and they can step up to perform in what will be their biggest football challenge to date.”

He concluded with a common concern: “For many of our boys, this will be their first time travelling outside Ghana, so their own nerves could prove to be their biggest weakness. We are working hard to take the pressure off them, so they can relax, enjoy the experience and go out and show what talented footballers they are.”

Over 9,000 teams have fought their way through local, national and regional tournaments over the past twelve months to win 1 of just 20 places at the MUPC World Finals in Manchester. They will then have the opportunity to measure their skills, their passion and their determination against the very best of their peers; in an effort to prove that they are the top under-15 team in the world.

On May 19th, a new team will be celebrating and dreaming of becoming the first ever African MUPC World Champions. The Road to Manchester continues…

The Premier Cup Champions of Africa will join host team Manchester United in August, alongside already qualified Premier Cup Champions; Orlando Pirates; Internaçional, Colo-Colo; Shillong Lajong(INDIA) ; Kyoto Sanga; Hyundai Junior High School; Werder Bremen, FC Torino; Newcastle United; Bucaspor – and the first ever Premier Cup Champions, FC Porto. Tournaments continue over the coming months to find the top 20 under-15 teams in the world!

Play maker and winner of 2002 Japan Korea World Cup for Brazil, Ronaldinho hadn't been called up for the national team since April 2009 but had been playing reasonably well this season with AC Milan and many wanted him to be included in the squad even King Pele also.

Kaka is likely to be Brazil's main leader in South Africa, commanding a midfield which will also probably have World Cup veteran Gilberto Silva as a starter, and maybe even Barcelona's Daniel Alves. The defense will be anchored by Juan and Lucio, and the attack will have Luis Fabiano and Robinho.

Brazil will practice for about a week in the southern Brazilian city of Curitiba before heading to South Africa on May 26. The five-time world champions will play against North Korea, Ivory Coast and Portugal in Group G.

Seriously injured players may be replaced up to 24 hours before the team's first match, as mentioned in the 2010 FIFA World Cup Regulations.

Defenders: Maicon (Inter Milan), Daniel Alves (Barcelona), Michel Bastos (Lyon), Gilberto (Cruzeiro), Lucio (Inter Milan), Juan (AS Roma), Luisao (Benfica), Thiago Silva (AC Milan).

Midfielders: Elano (Galatasaray), Kaka (Real Madrid), Gilberto Silva (Panathinaikos), Josue (Wolfsburg), Ramires (Benfica), Felipe Melo (Juventus), Kleberson (Flamengo), Julio Baptista (AS Roma).

Forwards: Luis Fabiano (Sevilla), Nilmar (Villarreal), Robinho (Santos), Grafite (Wolfsburg).

In the first half Viva came out as the better team among the two. Viva played more organized football than Bagan in the first half and caused repeated threat to the Bagan defence. In the 23rd minute of the match from a decent pass of Sabeeth, Karma scored the opening goal of the match and thus put his team in the lead. In the first half Bagan could not create any effective counter to level the scoreline.

In the second half the scenario changed and the Kolkata giant’s players gave everything to the match in search of the equalizer. Finally in the 50th minute Bareto scored the equalizer and leveled the scoreline. In rest of the time Bagan completely dominated the match and create numbers of opportunities for scoring but due to poor finishing Bagan could not make any change to the scoreline and the match ended as a draw with 1-1 scoreline.

SBS Director, Nigel Empson, explained that the courses were designed to accelerate the learning process within developing sports markets by giving students access to leading practitioners in the sports industry: “India and similar developing territories are poised for rapid growth within the sports sector. This creates a demand for people with leadership qualities, and a knowledge and understanding of the global business of sport.

“These programs will give candidates access to industry professionals from across the world, and from a broad range of sports and sports-related businesses. Through this exposure candidates will acquire a practical understanding of current thinking and best practice. We aim to move beyond the academic to add skills, knowledge and understanding that will enable candidates to make an impact – they will be involved not just in extensive case studies but also in ‘live’ projects.”

Stephen Constantine, former India National Coach, FIFA Coach Instructor, UEFA Professional Diploma Holder and now Coach of European club side APEP, welcomed the launch of the SBS program: "Sport in India needs talented managers and administrators, and these programs should go a long way towards meeting that need. India has huge potential but there's a lack of experience and expertise in many key areas - I'm delighted that SBS has stepped in and I'll be discussing with them how I can get involved in supporting what they're looking to achieve."

The idea for a new electronic transfer system, namely Transfer Matching System (TMS), was mooted after the FIFA Congress in Marrakech in 2005. FIFA is determined to ensure the money involved in player transfers is clean and that the transactions are not a ruse for other purposes.

The network went online in early 2008 and most major leagues have been using it during the last couple of transfer windows.From 1 October 2010, more than 3,000 football clubs in nearly all the 208 FIFA member Associations will be required to log the details of each player either sold or purchased in an international deal or else the transaction will be blocked.“Under TMS, there will be no more behind-the-scene transfers,” Mark Goddard, General Manager of FIFA Transfer Matching System GmBH, told www.the-afc.com.

“Everyone must come clean and stick to the rules. Any breach-the-rule transfer is considered illegal will be referred to the FIFA Disciplinary Committee.“There are no holes to try and squeeze through. Rules are rules. If you want to be involved in transfer activity, you have to adapt, no matter how big or small your club are.

“There will be no tolerance for any wrongdoings,” added Goddard.The FIFA honcho said everyone should adhere to the regulations when it comes to transfers."TMS is like a speed camera. It will be developing processes to check that every club are disclosing the correct information and if they do not then it will be a very clear breach of the regulations,” he said.“The obligation is to tell the truth and the consequences of not doing so will be substantial for anyone who is caught doing it. We have set up a strong team to monitor everything closely and spot checking regularly.”

To complete a transfer, both the buying and selling clubs must enter a number of details into the web-based system, including the transfer fee, the player's salary, the agent or lawyer involved and the length of the contract.So far, 144 national associations and 2,010 clubs participate in the system, which has already registered more than 4,000 transfers since 2008.

“The money must be transferred from and to a bank account. We will be making sure that rules are being nforced,”said Goddard. “It will be very difficult for Clubs to argue if the evidence is all there in the system.”The transfer system “revolution” will enable the world governing body to address not just money laundering but also third-party ownership of players.

“It will be a lot harder to abuse the rules with this new method. Compare to the ‘paper and fax era’, it is now possible to keep track of what is going on. The system will become standard business practice.“A players registration belongs to the clubs, not third parties such as companies or agents. No one can own players. It doesn’t matter what has happened before, by October this year, everything must be transparent and there will be no stone left unturned.

Goddard said the ultimate target is that all money from football goes back to football.“Our first target is to reshape the whole transfer system to ensure everything is transparent and clear. We will also ensure that young and talented U18 players are not being snapped up.“And most importantly, money belongs to football. It needs to remain in football for good use such as development purposes." he said.

“The transfer market is one of the last places on the planet where you have billions of dollars and no one is really checking, but it will soon change.”

Looking fairly good with their passing and been cohesive in their approach play, especially from the wider areas, Salgaocar struck the winner through substitute Manjit Singh at the stroke of the final whistle to pick the precious three points, a result that has clearly helped them to move away from the shadows of relegation.

Mahindra United, looking to at least end their campaign strongly after fading away in the title race took the lead at the half-hour mark through their leading scorer, Nigerian striker Muritala Ali but were unable to protect their slender one goal advantage going in at half-time with Ekene Ikenwa restoring parity for the goan outfit off a counter late in the first half.

Lacking the sharpness with their work in the final third, the only major bright spot for Mahindra United in this 25th round encounter could be viewed as the consistent efforts rendered by their custodian Monotosh Ghosh (man-of-the-match) who was quite impressive under the bar on his debut.

Following a series of disappointing results at the business end of the league, second place Mahindra United (38 points) suffering their second straight reversal are clearly in danger of slipping down further while Salgaocar after recording back-to-back wins, have moved up to the eight position in the league table with 30 points.

Mahindra United, playing with a slightly different formation struggled early on to establish their passing game as they were guilty of losing the ball quite cheaply while instead it was the visitors who looked more threatening with their attacking play while creating clear-cut opportunities.

In this return leg encounter, where overall the quality of finishing was not up to the mark, the second half saw both teams squandering clear-cut chances before Manjit Singh, minutes after his arrival slotted the winner late in the stoppage time.
