Assam gets new cricket & football academies
Assam has taken a significant leap in promoting sports infrastructure in the state by inaugurating two new academies, one for cricket and the other for football. The ACA Cricket Academy and GTC Football Academy were officially launched at Rangmahal, North Guwahati, by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. This development is expected to boost the sporting talent in the state by providing professional coaching, modern infrastructure, and a structured pathway for young athletes.

The academy will be equipped with top coaches from the Indian cricket establishment, who will provide guidance and mentorship to the young players. The facility will also have a team of experienced physiotherapists, trainers, and nutritionists to ensure that the players receive comprehensive support.
