“Share-e-Khass Sports Fraternity proudly extends its warmest congratulations to Mr. Ishfaq Ahmad, Mr. Majid Yousuf Dar, and the entire SAFF U17 Indian Team for their outstanding achievement in winning the championship for the second consecutive time. This remarkable victory has brought immense pride to the nation and to JK Football.
A special tribute goes to the ‘Iron Lady,’ Madam Nuzhat Gul, Secretary of the J&K Sports Council, whose visionary leadership and tireless dedication have been pivotal in this success. Her commitment to organizing two National Camps in J&K UT, providing world-class facilities for SAFF U17 players, coaches, and management, has revitalized football in the region and set a new standard for excellence.
Through Madam Nuzhat Gul’s foresight, the expertise of Ishfaq Ahmad, an AFC Pro License coach, and Majid Yousuf Dar, a specialist in football management—both distinguished employees of the J&K Sports Council—were made available to the team. Her efforts have also ensured that J&K boasts top-tier infrastructure for prestigious coaching courses, empowering future generations of football talent.
Thanks to her unwavering support, J&K today celebrates a record number of players representing ISL teams and the National Team, a clear reflection of her relentless commitment to the growth and development of sports in the region.
We once again congratulate Team India U17 on this extraordinary victory and respectfully request Madam Nuzhat Gul to continue her invaluable work by facilitating more National Camps, advanced coaching courses, and encouraging the presence of National Teams in J&K. With her dedication, we are confident that football and other sports will continue to flourish, reaching unprecedented heights in J&K.
Your leadership is truly transforming the sporting landscape.”
