Srinagar, May 7: In a significant recognition of J&K’s growing footprint in national football, Sajad Hussain Parray—an exceptional young defender from the J&K Sports Council Football Academy—has been named in the probables for the India U-23 Men’s National Team camp.

Known for his rock-solid defending and commanding presence on the field, Sajad has consistently impressed with his tactical awareness, composure under pressure, and ability to organize the backline. His performances at the domestic level have caught the attention of national selectors, earning him this well-deserved opportunity to train and compete at the highest youth level in the country.

Getting called up for the national team is a huge feat to accomplish in a sport like football, where the level of competition is immense and the margin for error is small. Sajad’s selection highlights his dedication, discipline, and continuous growth as a professional athlete.

He has previously been part of top-tier Indian football clubs, including Indian Super League (ISL) sides Hyderabad FC and Mohammedan SC, gaining valuable experience in competitive professional environments.

“Sajad has been a standout performer from an early age, trained and nurtured at the J&K Sports Council Football Academy. His discipline, hard work, and consistency have made him one of the finest young defenders in the region. All credit goes to his mentors and coaches who have guided him throughout his journey,” said his Coach from JKSC Football Academy.

Congratulating the athlete, Ms. Nuzhat Gul, Secretary J&K Sports Council, said, “Sajad’s selection to the India U-23 camp is a proud moment for the entire sports community in J&K. His journey is a testament to the dedication of our young athletes and the growing support system around them. Such achievements reflect the kind of sports transformation we are committed to fostering across J&K.”
