Thiruvananthapuram : Lack of playgrounds and open spaces in the state capital is becoming a handicap for football enthusiasts and youngsters here. Many artificial turfs have come up recently and interestingly, all of them are located near to the IT Park at Kazhakoottam. According to Ebin Rose, former Santhosh Trophy Player and Coach of Kovalam FC, unauthorised constructions are to be blamed for depleting playgrounds. He said that FIFA doesn’t allow playing official matches on an artificial turf. “The game is getting commercialised and maj-ority of the academies and clubs here are eligible to impart professional coaching,” said Mr Ebin Rose, who is a B licensed coach under Asian Football Federation.
