Close on the heels of Subrata Paul and Gourmangi Singh's two-month training and trial with Danish Premier League club FC Vestsjaelland beginning next week, IMG Reliance is contemplating a similar tour for their other recruits in Europe ahead of their franchise-based league early next year.
India goalkeeper Paul said: "The camp was scheduled last month (September 16) but due to visa problem it got delayed as we further had Puja vacation."
"We're expecting the visa approval to come this evening and we would leave by tomorrow. We expect to be in the reserve bench of the Danish club and play a couple of matches. It's a step in the right direction," Paul added.
Established in 2008, FC Vestsjaeland, also known as FCV Vikings, is based in Slagelse and plays its home games at the Slagelse Stadium.
As runners-up of the 2012-13 season of the 1st Division, they won promotion to the Superliga. For a club established only in 2008, it has been regarded a massive achievement.
The overseas camp came less than a month after 50-odd IMG-Reliance recruits underwent training-cum-conditioning camp under Engishman coach Trevor Morgan in Mumbai.
IMG-Reliance is also learnt to be in talks with some European clubs for similar exposure trip to rest of their contracted players.
