FCM Chairman visits KA Santosh Trophy Camp in Mangalore

For the first time ever, the FC Mangalore Campus played host to the final preparatory camp for the final round of the 75th Senior National Football Championships (Santosh Trophy) to be held in Kerala later this month. Adding to the festivities was the fact that FC Mangalore Chairman Mr Yenepoya Mohammed Farhaad was at hand to facilitate and members of the Karnataka squad on Monday, 11th April 2022.

Add to the fact that FC Mangalore will be well represented in the Karnataka squad in the form of Head Coach Biby Thomas and Players Riyaz and Bavu Nishad.

It is a proud moment for the club. We have worked hard all these years to produce so many players for the State of Karnataka and now to be hosting the team in our own campus and have them interact with our Club President Farhaad sir, who is himself a keen footballer, was a wonderful experience and I consider myself very fortunate and humbled to be leading this team alongside these talented members and look forward to a fantastic tournament in Kerala.
