Torch bearers of Old City football
It goes without saying that for all the cold-shouldering by the Telangana Football Association (TFA), Hyderabad Globe Football Club (HGFC) continues to be in the forefront of promotion of the sport in the Od City, much like what Shastri Soccer Club (SSC) has deen doing at Trimulgherry Village Ground, all these years.

More than 150 players of varying age-groups are turning up prompt by 6.15am to get trained by qualified coaches, and former national players. Most of them are licensed coaches of AIFF.
According to AIFF licensed chief coach, Syed Sadi, a former footballer, his team consists of passionate coaches like MA Salam, Habib Obaid, MAQayyum, Almdar and Digamber Rao. The club has an all-year training in that 25-30 of the most promising summer trainees will be absorbed into the professionally-manned Hyderabad Globe Football Academy that also operates at Khurshidjah Playground. It is this continuous monitoring that has helped the club to churn out quality players at regular intervals.

For the records, HGFC has an impressive track-record in tournaments it has participated in other States.
