The seventh edition ISL will be held across three stadiums, namely Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda, the GMC Athletic Stadium in Bambolim and the Tilak Maidan Stadium in Vasco.

Gurpreet and Sanju declared winners of AIFF Player of the Year Awards

NEW DELHI: Indian National Team goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, and Sanju are the winners of the 2019-20 AIFF Men's Footballer of the Year Award, and the 2019-20 AIFF Women’s Footballer of the Year Award respectively.

This is the first time Gurpreet has received this prestigious award, and in the process he became the second goalkeeper after Subrata Paul in 2009 to be named the AIFF Player of the Year. The Blue Tigers custodian was elected as the winner on the basis of votes from Hero Indian Super League and Hero I-League club coaches.

“There was always a desire to reach this point and this is an Award which I have always looked up to. Chhetri-bhai (Sunil Chhetri) has won it so many times and I have always thought when I can be worthy enough to win it,” Gurpreet said. “Huge thanks go to AIFF and everyone who has supported and helped me relentlessly to help me achieve this today” he added. “Garnering the all-important draw against Asian Champions Qatar in Doha, eleven clean sheets in last Hero Indian Super League edition, winning the Golden Glove award could not have been possible without the team.”

“A big thank you to all Hero Indian Super League and Hero I-League club coaches who have thought I'm worthy of receiving this award. I'll try my best to live up to the expectations,” he expressed.

The 28-year-old had also received the Arjuna Award last year.

Meanwhile, National Women’s team midfielder Sanju was selected the winner for an excellent season; while Ratanbala Devi was the winner of the 2019-20 Emerging Women’s Footballer of the Year Award. Both the winners were selected by Women’s National Team Head Coach Maymol Rocky in consultation with AIFF Technical Director Isac Doru.

Sanju said, "Personally, it's a big milestone for me. This Award is the proof that all the hard work that we have been doing over the last few years has indeed paid off. I would like to thank AIFF for all the exposure that we have got to grow and to improve ourselves. I'd also like to thank the seniors in our team. All of them have been an immense help to me and have helped me cope with the rigours of international football. I'd also like to thank Maymol ma'am for allowing me the time and the opportunity to grow within the team and express myself on the pitch.”

Ratanbala, who has been a key fixture in the heart of the Indian Women's Team midfield, said, "This is a happy moment in my life, indeed. I've seen some of my teammates bag this award in the previous years, and it is really nice to win it myself this time round. The way our team has grown over the last couple of years is simply phenomenal. I would like to thank the AIFF, my coaches and all my teammates for helping we win this award. This will provide further motivation for us to push ahead in the future."

Furthermore, Men’s National team midfielder Anirudh Thapa was the AIFF 2019-20 Men’s Emerging Footballer of the Year. He was also selected the winner on the basis of votes from Hero Indian Super League and Hero I-League club coaches.

“This news is a breath of fresh air for me and my family -- especially whatever we have witnessed so far in this year. I would like to thank AIFF, all my teammates and coaching staff to help me achieve whatever I could. We have garnered some fantastic performances at the club front as well as for the National team last year but we need to push harder to raise the bar and we can surely do that,” Thapa quipped. “That fact that I was voted by coaches from the clubs makes this all the more special.

The 2019-20 AIFF Award for the Best Referee was by L. Ajit Kumar Meetei from Manipur, while P. Vairamuthu from Tamil Nadu was named the winner of the 2019-20 AIFF Award for the Best Assistant Referee.

“I extend my heartiest congratulations to all the winners. We are really proud of them. They are surely an inspiration for the entire football fraternity in India," AIFF President Mr. Praful Patel averred.

Meanwhile, the 2019-20 AIFF Award for the Best Grassroots Development Programme went to the Indian Football Association (West Bengal).

 Al Sadd lose to Sepahan but qualify; Al Taawoun shatter Al Duhail dreams

Doha: Qatar's Al Sadd and Al Duhail had contrasting fortunes in the  2020 AFC Champions League West Zone matches played in Doha. Al Sadd qualified for the round of 16 while Duhail failed to make the cut.

On Thursday, Islamic Republic of Iran’s Sepahan FC ended their 2020 AFC Champions League on a high after defeating Al Sadd SC 2-1 in Group D .

Sepahan had already been eliminated, having collected just four points from their previous five games, while Al Sadd had booked their place in the Round of 16 with a game to spare.

Al Sadd coach Xavi made 10 changes to his starting XI that played out a 1-1 draw against Al Nassr three days earlier, with only centre-back Tarek Salman retaining his place in the team, before being swapped for Abdelkarim Hassan at half time.

After a lively start to the game, Sepahan found the back of the net with their first major chance. Daniel Esmaeilifar sent a long ball down the right flank behind Al Sadd left-back Bahaa Mamdouh allowing Reza Mirzaei to control and lob Salman before firing with his left into the bottom corner to open the scoring in the 14th minute.

Al Sadd regrouped and saw more of the ball in the following minutes with veteran Rodrigo Tabata at the heart of their attacking play.

With eight minutes to go until the break, the 39-year-old drove from midfield and attempted an effort from range that grazed the side netting. Four minutes later he sent a cross from a left-sided set-piece that evaded everyone and needed a save from goalkeeper Seyedpayam Nizamandghader at the far post.

Sepahan retook the initiative in the second half and within six minutes of the restart Soroush Rafiei had beaten goalkeeper Meshaal Barsham with a header from close range but watched his ball ricochet off the upright.

The Iranian pressure mounted on Al Sadd defences, producing a second goal in the 53rd minute. Mirzaei advanced into the byline from the right wing and sent a across that was parried by Barsham into the path of Sajjad Shabazzadeh who applied the finish to double Sepahan’s lead.

Eight minutes before the final whistle, Yusuf Abdurisaq pounced on a light back pass from Esmaeilifar to his goalkeeper and squared for Hashim Ali who was left with a simple tap in to make it 2-1.

The result means Al Sadd finish in second place of Group D with nine points and will face the Group C winners in the Round of 16. Sepahan end their campaign in third place with seven points.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's Al Taawoun FC snatched a ticket to the 2020 AFC Champions League Round-of-16 after defeating Al Duhail 1-0 in Group C on Thursday.

The two sides had met on Matchday Two, when Al Taawoun scored a 2-0 home win courtesy of goals from Mohamed Al Sahlawi and Abdulmajeed Al Swat.

The first half was cagey and featured missed chances by Mohammed Musa, Edmilson Junior and Dudu for Al Duhail as well as Cedric Amissi for the Buraidah based side. Deep into stoppage time in the first half, Cassio expertly denied Almoez Ali who struck from the left.

Junior threatened 55 minutes in, and after a break by his side, the Belgian cut inside from the left flank beating two players before curling an effort in from range that Cassio gratefully clutched into his arms.

Amissi got another chance to make his mark on proceedings when he attempted a free-kick on goal, after teammate Al Sahlawi was fouled down the flank. Amissi’s shot was timid, and keeper Mohammed Al Bakri punched away with ease.

The Burundi man got the exact same chance again from the left flank, this time forcing Al Bakri into a save that resulted in a corner; the one which saw a clashing of heads between Ali and Australian striker Mitchell Duke that took a few minutes of stoppage to treat.

The match exploded into life in the final 10 minutes, with Al Duhail missing a golden chance to open the scoring through Ismail Mohammed, who was through on goal with just the keeper to beat and chipped, but substitute Saad Yaslam managed to reach the ball and clear off the line.

A bandaged Duke then dramatically sealed the tie for Al Taawoun after breaking free from his marker in the area to meet Sultan Mandash’s corner and put the ball past Al Bakri.

The result sees Al Duhail crash out of the competition, while Al Taawoun qualify to the Round of 16 for the first time in their history.

Persepolis' 4-0 win over Sharjah in the other Group C fixture means Al Taawoun will face fellow Saudi side Al Nassr in the next round while Persepolis play Al Sadd.

Obiena of Philippines to miss Doha leg of the Diamond League

 

A week back at the Rome leg of the Diamond League Armand Duplantis of Sweden caught the eye balls of the world-wide audience with his record-breaking leap in the Pole Vault where Ben Broeders of Belgium took the silver and EJ Obiena of Philippines took the bronze.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XoTZREAgMQ

Chances of the trio finishing on the podium at the Doha leg to be held on Friday September 24 at the Qatar Sports Club sans spectators has dismissed with the Filipino pole vaulter pulling out of the event due to visa and passport problems.

Armand Duplantis of Sweden leaped to a height of 6.15m in Italy to break a 26-year-old world record of Ukrainian pole vaulter Sergey Bubka on September 17

Both Obiena and Broeders finished with identical 5.80 clearances, but the Belgian needed two attempts to clear the height and took the silver while Obiena settled for the bronze.

“I will not be doing Doha because of visa and passport problems,” said the 24-year-old Obiena while talking to Philstar.com.

In Rome Obiena, posted his personal season best.

Obiena  remained focused on eclipsing his best and current national record of 5.81m and hopefully breach the 6.0m-mark that would give him a fighting chance at a medal in Tokyo.

And winning one would be historic since the last Olympic medal by the country in track and field came in the 1936 Berlin Games where Filipino-American Miguel White captured a 400m hurdles bronze.

To achieve that, Petrov had made drastic changes to Obiena’s training program.

“I’m giving myself time to recover and get ready for next season,” said Obiena, who had a gold, two silver and three bronzes in eight competitions he joined the last two months.

Obiena is not new to Doha having won the won gold at the Asian Athletics Championships in Qatar last year.

Diamond League athletics entourage to make Doha stopover on Sept 25

 

The Qatar Athletics Federation is working round the clock in preparation for this year's Diamond League athletics meeting in Doha which will take place on September 25 at Qatar Sports Club Stadium.

The event in Doha, which serves as the traditional season opener, had previously been pushed back from its April 17 slot due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The competitive season began in Monaco on August 14 followed by meeting in Stockholm. Naples will hold the third meeting on September 17 while Doha will host the last leg.  

Diamond League meetings in Eugene, London, Paris, Rabat, Gateshead and Shanghai were cancelled while events in Oslo, Zurich, Lusanne and Brussels were just exhibition events.

Doha will host the revised 12-event programme - the fourth and final competitive meeting of the truncated Diamond League season - which includes sprint hurdles and 800m for both men and women; 100m, 3000m and long jump for women; and 200m, 400m, 1500m and pole vault for men.

For local fans all eyes will be focused Asian 400m hurdles champion and World Championships bronze medal winner Abderrahman Samba.

Due to the impact of Covid-19, the Diamond League will not form a structured series of events leading to a final and athletes will not earn Diamond League points this season.

2019 World Championship medallists Sam Kendricks (USA), Mondo Duplantis (SWE) and Piotr Lisek (POL), as well as London 2012 Olympic gold medallist Renaud Lavillenie (FRA), will battle it out in the pole vault in Doha.

Two-time world champion Kendricks is the Rio 2016 Olympic Games bronze medallist. He finished second to Duplantis with a 6.02m jump at the Wanda Diamond League meeting in Lausanne on 2 September, the second highest vault of his career.

World record holder Duplantis, runner-up to Kendricks in Doha at the World Championships last year and European champion (2018), is in outstanding form.

His exceptional indoor season – which peaked with an incredible 6.18m clearance in Glasgow in February – has continued outdoors, and he jumped a national outdoor record and world lead of 6.07m, the best outdoor vault in the world for 26 years, to take the victory in the fading light of Lausanne.

Lisek was second to Kendricks in London and third behind Kendricks and Duplantis in Doha. He has a season’s best of 5.90m from the Wiesław Maniak Memorial in Szczecin on 16 August.

Lavillenie, the most experienced of the quartet, backed up his London triumph with Olympic silver in Rio 2016 and over the last decade has won a multitude of global medals, including seven Diamond Trophies.

In addition to their pole vault achievements in competitive international events, Kendricks, Duplantis and Lavillenie brought live sport back during lockdown in the inaugural ‘Ultimate Garden Clash’ in May.

The contest, devised by the three vaulters, was a race to see who could produce the most 5.00m vaults within a 30-minute period, all from the comfort and safety of their own back gardens.

Kendricks said: “We’ve had fun this summer going right back to our back garden meet in May, but after some solid blocks of training, it’s been great to get back out and compete with these guys on the circuit.”

Duplantis, unbeaten this season to date, said: “After Lausanne I was desperate to get back out and compete, I felt like I was in the zone and it’s hard to take a step back in those situations, but I had to play safe.

“I’m excited to compete in Doha and to continue this season. After a delayed start we’re all getting into good shape so this should be a great competition. I love pole vault – we all do – and when we compete against each other we really push each other on, it brings out the best of us.”

 

Meanwhile, Double Olympic sprint champion Elaine Thompson-Herah (Jamaica), Olympic silver medallist Dafne Schippers (Netherlands) and multiple World Championships medallist Marie-Josée Ta Lou (Ivory Coast), will go head to head over 100m.

Thompson-Herah, the first woman to win gold in the 100m and 200m at the same Olympics (Rio 2016) since Florence Griffith Joyner achieved the feat in Seoul 1988, finished fourth in the 100m at the World Athletics Championships in Doha in 2019.

Former heptathlete Schippers, world champion over 200m in 2015 and 2017, is the European record-holder (21.63) and third-fastest woman of all time over the distance. She was runner-up to Thompson-Herah over 200m in Rio and fifth in the 100m.

Talou finished third in the 100m at the World Athletics Championships in Doha, but was second in London 2017 - behind the dominant Schippers - in a National Record (22.08). She was also runner-up in the 100m, this time to the USA’s Tori Bowie, with Schippers in third.

Schippers will make her season’s debut over 100m in Doha while Talou will be looking to build on her Wanda Diamond League performances in Monaco and Stockholm where she finished fourth (11.39) and third (11.32) respectively.

Thompson-Herah’s season’s best of 10.88 set in Kingston on 8 August is the second fastest of the year to date. She will race outside of Jamaica for the first time in 2020 when she lines up in Doha.

She said: “I’ve been fortunate to be able to race at home over the summer, but nothing beats the thrill of lining up in an overseas, international meet. I can’t wait to get back on the circuit, especially as part of a quality field in Doha where I’ve really enjoyed competing in the past.”

“It is good that some of the top players from Asian clubs are coming to Qatar and will play at three stadiums which will host the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Hopefully, the Qatari clubs, Al Sadd and Al Duhail take advantage of the home conditions and qualify for the next stage,” said an Indian football fan Vishant Hegde, who has been in Qatar for the last 14 years.

Mauritian national Yasser is also excited that some top football action is coming to Qatar.

 

“Although I have not been following top Asian clubs, I have been certainly following the progress of Qatari clubs and hopefully they will top in  their respective groups and qualify for the Knockout Stage,” said Yasser.

 

Sixteen top clubs from Asia were to compete in Qatar but Al Wahda FSCC pulled out as a number of their players contracted the Covid19 virus. Thy UAE Football Association wrote to AFC requested postponement of matches but the request could was turned down.

clubs from neighboring Saudi Arabia will be vying to qualify for the next stage of the championship.

 

Besides, Al Sadd another Qatari club Al Duhail will be seen in action in Group D matches, while Al Duhail are in Group C.

They begin their campaign with a match against Sharjah. 

 

To ensure the safety of everyone involved in the AFC Champions League, players and officials were required to undergo COVID-19 testing before their departure from their respective countries and again upon their arrival in Qatar while subsequent tests will be conducted every three to six days.
