GFA plans to make Duler Stadium I-League compliant with Rs 1.3 crore investment
Owned by the GFA, Duler has hosted I-League matches in the past Panaji: The Goa Football Association (GFA) will seek approval of its general body on Sunday to go ahead with expansion work at the Duler Football Stadium which will help become I-League compliant, allowing Goan clubs to host their national league matches at the venue. Owned by the GFA, Duler has hosted I-League matches in the past but with a stricter criterion in place, the association needs improvement, particularly with the dressing rooms, which has only two showers and toilets, as against the requirement of four. 'We cannot demolish and build new dressing rooms in the existing place,' said GFA president Caitano Fernandes. 'The plan is to have a new building with two dressing rooms that has four showers and four toilets each. As per rules, the dressing room must mandatorily accommodate a minimum of 30 people. The new building will also have a referee's room, match commissioner's room and a place for the local organising committee. We will present the proposal before the general body on Sunday and act accordingly.' To become compliant, there is also a requirement for a medical room on the ground floor, which the association plans to fulfil by vacating the existing GFA office and converting it to a medical room. The GFA office will then be located on the first floor of the new building, whenever ready. The construction is expected to cost GFA Rs 1.26 crore which it hopes to recover from the three clubs who will use the facilities. 'Two clubs have already told us that they are willing to contribute (financially),' said vice president Jonathan de Sousa. 'They could give us an advance rent and we can present a proposal where the clubs can use the facilities for free, for a certain number of years. It helps everyone. The project is expected to be completed within nine months.' In its press release, the GFA said the 'major development project at the southern side of the stadium could be a revenue changer for Goan football.'

Khalid Jamil emerges as frontrunner for Indian football team coach role
Khalid Jamil has emerged as a frontrunner to take up the vacant Indian men's football team coach role, according to a report from PTI. Jamil, who has been known for his work with limited resources in the I-League and the Indian Super League, is amongst the three candidates who have been shortlisted by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) along with former India coach Stephen Constantine and Stefan Tarkovic. advertisementThe AIFF went through close to 170 applications, which included the likes of Xavi, Robbie Fowler and Harry Kewell. The news about Xavi's application came to light on July 24 as AIFF appreciated the interest from the Spaniard, but decided not to proceed with it given the costs involved with the operation to bring the former Barcelona manager on board. However, PTI is stating that amongst the three who have been shortlisted, Jamil appears to be the favourite to land the job. The AIFF have resisted the tendency to hand over the reigns to an Indian coach at a crossroads moment but the current Jamshedpur FC coach seems to be edging ahead. Why Jamil could be the people's choice Jamil's work with Indian football has been incredible. After representing India in 40 international matches, the former midfielder started his career as a coach with Mumbai in 2009. However, it was with Aizawl FC that he came into the limelight. Given the limited resources at his disposal, Jamil guided them into the I-League from the second division and helped them win the title in their first season. After stints with East Bengal and Mohun Bagan, Jamil once again came into the limelight for guiding Northeast United to the semi-finals of the ISL in the 2021-22 season. He then went on to repeat the feat with Jamshedpur FC. AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey confirmed on July 24 that an announcement about the new Indian coach will be in 10 days. "I think 10 days from now, if all goes smoothly.""We will hold executive committee meeting and thereafter the name of the head coach will be announced," Chaubey executive committee meeting will be key to decide if Jamil becomes the new India coach. - Ends

From Wiping Floors to Calling Plays: Sacramento Kings' Dipesh Mistry's Rise To The NBA G-League
Last Updated: Dipesh Mistry's journey from playing basketball in Markham as a kid, to becoming a G-League head coach is one that reminds us all that basketball is for everyone. From playing basketball throughout his childhood for the sheer love of the game, to doing all the grunt work for his university team, to eventually standing shoulder-to-shoulder among the best coaches in the G-League, Dipesh Mistry's journey is a powerful example of how success often follows an unpredictable path. In fact, it's the kind of story we're used to seeing on the big screen. Now 32, the Canadian-Indian from Markham, Ontario, overcame what could have been the end of his basketball aspirations. Instead, he reinvented himself and steadily climbed his way to the professional ranks of the G-League. After not making the cut for Ryerson University's basketball team, Mistry spent two years doing the unglamorous, unpaid work—rebounding, doing laundry, wiping down floors—while learning everything he could. During that time, he found inspiration in people he could truly relate to, to keep his eyes on the prize. 'Eric Spoelstra was probably one of the biggest inspirations for me, you know. But also like even in my level, like Roy Rana was one, as an Indian coach. To see what he was doing at Ryerson, and to have him take me under his wing when I was 20 or 21, to show me how global basketball is and how big it can become for me too. I was very young, and I just kind of helped him out. So that was someone like close to home that I could actually see and be like, 'Oh, yeah, that makes sense. I could do it too.'" Eventually, he caught his break. Mistry's analytical skills first drew national attention when he joined Team Canada's women's basketball team as a performance analyst for the 2016 Rio Olympics. He later worked as a video coordinator with the men's national team. Then came the big league: the NBA. His initial NBA opportunity came while working under coach Jay Triano, the interim head coach of the Phoenix Suns in 2017. He brought Mistry onto the staff: a moment that launched his NBA career. In 2018, he joined the Atlanta Hawks as head video coordinator, eventually becoming a coaching associate and special assistant to the head coach by 2021. In 2023, he moved to the Sacramento Kings, where his relentless work ethic quickly stood out. Head coach Doug Christie saw his potential and supported his appointment as head coach of the Kings' G-League affiliate. 'When I was sitting on the bench during my first Summer League game in charge, it felt normal. But then, when like the first couple baskets went through and I had to stand up, that's when I really felt it. And I was like, 'Wow, this is incredible'. I thought that was an incredible moment for myself, but also for my family and for all the people and coaches who supported me. It's a moment I'll probably never forget." When the moment came, Mistry rose to it. He led a young, newly drafted roster to a standout showing in the 2025 Summer League, guiding them with a team-first approach that earned the Kings a place in the final against the Charlotte Hornets. Although the Kings fell short in the championship game, the experience was a personal win for Mistry. 'It's funny because Chris Gent, the (Charlotte Hornets' G-League team) coach on the other side. I was in Atlanta with him and I learned under him for three years. So, it was kind of coaching against someone who mentored me for a long time. It was a surreal experience as well." His journey, though, is far from over. 'Yeah, I think my younger self would probably be pretty shocked and be like, 'Wow, it actually happened'. Maybe he was onto something, you know? Maybe it was possible after all." As one of the few Indian-origin coaches operating at this level, Mistry understands both the weight and the honor of his role, while embracing the same to push himself further. 'It's just about just going through the process and, and going through the journey. However I do, I think it's an honor to be someone to look up to and be like, 'Hey, if he could do it, I could do it too. And he looks like me.'" Basketball is for everyone—and Mistry embodies exactly that. News18 Sports brings you the latest updates, live commentary, and highlights from cricket, football, tennis, badmintion, wwe and more.
