Football administration doesn’t need a Shop boss – Sunil Senaveera (Video)

Published

on

Mr Sunil Senaveera, a former secretary of the Football Federation, said that the football federation election is scheduled to be held next Saturday (14), and the football administration does not need a moneylender but a sports administrator.

We all have a big question about whether there is a future for football in Sri Lanka. We are in 207th place in the world rankings. The cause of this crisis is the weakness of the administrators. He said that the former president and secretaries of the football association had no feelings to develop football.

Several letters were sent to the Ministry of Sports to investigate the corruption scams in the Football Federation. But after about a month, when I inquired about it, the letters were missing. Who should be responsible for such incidents should be investigated immediately.

Several parties such as FIFA, the Asian Football Confederation, and the Ministry of Sports said that the constitution of the Sri Lanka Football Federation should be amended. But the President and the executive committee were not interested in this at all.

Now the former president and the executive committee should take responsibility for everything that has happened to football. Because of them only, this situation turned into a serious problem. Transparency was not to be seen in this administration. All the financial transactions have taken place without any approval of the Executive Committee.

There are only 2 days left for the football election. No one knows who the contestants are. It is not possible to carry out an election in this way. Former Secretary Sunil Senaveera said this at a press conference held in Colombo.

පාපන්දු පරිපාලනයට අවශ්‍ය වන්නේ මුදාලි කෙනෙකු නොවේ – සුනිල් සෙනවීර

ලබන සෙනසුරාදා දින (14) පාපන්දු නිලවරණය පැවැත්වීමට නියමිත අතර, පාපන්දු පරිපාලනයට අවශ්‍ය වන්නේ මුදලාලි කෙනෙකු නොව ක්‍රීඩා පරිපාලකයෙකු බව පාපන්දු සම්මේලනයේ හිටපු ලේකම්වරයෙකු වන සුනිල් සෙනෙවිරත්න මහතා පැවසීය.

ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ පාපන්දුවට අනාගතයක් තියෙනවද යන්න පිළිබදව අපි සෑම දෙනාටම ලොකු ප්‍රශ්නයක් තියෙනව. ලෝක ශ්‍රේණිගත කිරීම්හි අපි ඉන්නේ 207 වන ස්ථානයේ. මෙම අර්බුදයට හේතුව වන්නේ පරිපාලකයන්ගේ දුර්වලතාවය. හිටපු පාපන්දු සංගමයේ සභාපති, ලේකම්ලට පාපන්දුව දියුණු කිරීමට කිසිදු හැගීමක් තිබුනෙ නෑ යනුවෙන් එතුමා ප්‍රකාශ කලහ.

පාපන්දු සම්මේලනයේ ඇති දූෂණ වංචා පිළිබදව සොයා බැලීමට ලිපි කිහිපයක්ම ක්‍රීඩා අමාත්‍යංශයට යොමු කලා. නමුත් මාසයක් වැනි කාලයකට පසුව ගිහින් ඒ පිළිබදව විමසීමකදී එම ලිපි අස්ථානගත වෙලා. මෙවැනි සිද්ධීන් වලට වග කිව යුත්තේ කවුරුන්දු කියා වහාම සොයා බැලිය යුතුය.

ශ්‍රී ලංකා පාපන්දු සම්මේලනයේ ව්‍යවස්ථාව සංශෝධනය විය යුතුයි කියල පාර්ශව කිහිපයක්ම පවසල තියෙනව. ඒ අතරට ලෝක පාපන්දු සම්මේලනය, ආසියානු පාපන්දු සම්මේලනය, ක්‍රීඩා අමාත්‍යංශය මෙයට අයත් වෙනව. නමුත් හිටපු සභාපති ඇතුළු විධායක කමිටුව මෙයට කිසි සේත් උනන්දු උනේ නෑ.

දැන් මේ පාපන්දුවට සිදු වෙලා තියෙන සියලු දේ වගකීම හිටපු සභාපති ඇතුළු විධායක කමිටුව භාරගත යුතුයි. එයාල නිසා තමා මේ තත්වය මෙතරම් බැරෑරුම් තත්වයකට හැරුනේ. මෙම පරිපාලනය තුළ විනිවිධභාවය කියන දේ දකින්න තිබුනෙ නෑ. සිදු වන වියදම් සම්භන්ධයෙන් කිසිම විධායක කමිටු අනුමැතියකින් තොරව මෙම සියලුම මූල්‍ය ගණුදෙනු සිදුව තිබෙන්නේ.

පාපන්දු නිලවරණයට තව තිබෙන්නේ දවස් 2යි. කිසිදු කෙනෙක් දන්නේ නෑ නියෝජිතයන් කවුද කියන්න. මේ ආකාරයට නිළවරණ පැවැත්වීම කළ නොහැකියි. කොළබ පැවති මාධ්‍ය හමුවකදී මේ බව හිටපු ලේකම් සුනිල් සෙනෙවිරත්න මහතා පැවසීය.

கால்பந்தாட்ட நிர்வாகத்திற்கு முதலாளி தேவையில்லை – சுனில் சேனவீர

உதைபந்தாட்ட சம்மேளனத்தின் முன்னாள் செயலாளர் திரு.சுனில் செனவிரத்ன, உதைபந்தாட்ட அலுவலகத் தேர்தல் எதிர்வரும் சனிக்கிழமை (14) நடைபெறவுள்ளதாகவும், உதைபந்தாட்ட நிர்வாகத்திற்கு பணம் கொடுப்பவர் தேவையில்லை, விளையாட்டு நிர்வாகியே தேவை எனவும் தெரிவித்தார்.

இலங்கையில் கால்பந்தாட்டத்திற்கு எதிர்காலம் இருக்கிறதா என்ற பெரிய கேள்வி நம் அனைவருக்கும் உள்ளது. உலக தரவரிசையில் 207வது இடத்தில் உள்ளோம். இந்த நெருக்கடிக்கு காரணம் நிர்வாகிகளின் பலவீனம்தான். உதைபந்தாட்ட சங்கத்தின் முன்னாள் தலைவர் மற்றும் செயலாளர்களுக்கு கால்பந்தாட்டத்தை வளர்க்க வேண்டும் என்ற உணர்வு இல்லை என அவர் தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.

சம்மேளனத்தில் இடம்பெற்ற ஊழல் மோசடிகளை விசாரிக்குமாறு விளையாட்டு அமைச்சுக்கு பாண்டு பல கடிதங்களை அனுப்பினார். ஆனால் ஒரு மாதத்திற்குப் பிறகு, நான் அதைப் பற்றி விசாரித்தபோது, ​​​​கடிதங்களைக் காணவில்லை. இதுபோன்ற சம்பவங்களுக்கு யார் பொறுப்பேற்க வேண்டும் என்பதை உடனடியாக விசாரிக்க வேண்டும்.

இலங்கை உதைபந்தாட்ட சம்மேளனத்தின் அரசியலமைப்பு திருத்தப்பட வேண்டும் என பல தரப்பினரும் தெரிவித்து வருகின்றனர். அவற்றில், உலக கால்பந்து கூட்டமைப்பு, ஆசிய கால்பந்து கூட்டமைப்பு மற்றும் விளையாட்டு அமைச்சகம் ஆகியவை இதில் அடங்கும். ஆனால் முன்னாள் தலைவரும், செயற்குழுவும் இதில் ஆர்வம் காட்டவே இல்லை.

இப்போது இந்த கால்பந்தாட்டத்திற்கு நடந்த அனைத்திற்கும் முன்னாள் ஜனாதிபதியும் செயற்குழுவும் பொறுப்பேற்க வேண்டும். அவர்களால், இந்த நிலைமை மிகவும் தீவிரமான சூழ்நிலையாக மாறியது. இந்த நிர்வாகத்தில் பன்முகத்தன்மை காணப்படவில்லை. இந்த நிதி பரிவர்த்தனைகள் அனைத்தும், செலவினம் காரணமாக செயற்குழுவின் எந்த அனுமதியும் இன்றி நடந்துள்ளது.

கால்பந்து அதிகாரப்பூர்வ தேர்தலுக்கு இன்னும் 2 நாட்களே உள்ளன. பிரதிநிதிகள் யார் என்று யாருக்கும் தெரியாது. இவ்வாறு தேர்தல் நடத்த முடியாது. கொழும்பில் நடைபெற்ற ஊடகவியலாளர் சந்திப்பில் முன்னாள் செயலாளர் சுனில் சேனவீர இதனை தெரிவித்தார்.

This decision has been made in recognition of the outstanding service rendered by Mrs. Herat towards the founding of Women’s Cricket Association in the country.

It was under her leadership that the Sri Lanka Women’s Cricket Association was established in 1997, where she served as its founding president.

Accordingly, in memory of her from 2026 onwards, the Major Club Women’s 50-Over
Tournament will be named the Gwen Herat Memorial Trophy.

“The significant role played by the late Mrs. Gwen Herat in laying the foundation for women’s cricket is well remembered by the cricketing fraternity. By naming a tournament in her honor, Sri Lanka Cricket aims to preserve her legacy for future generations,” said Mr. Bandula
Dissanayake.

Marking this significant initiative, the family of Mrs. Gwen Herat presented a trophy to Sri Lanka Cricket, which will be awarded to the champions of future editions of the tournament.
The handover was carried out by Mrs. Herat’s family members, including her daughters, Shamarra Herat and Parveen Herat, and her son, Avancka Herat.

The Gwen Herat Memorial Trophy was officially handed over to Mr. Bandula Dissanayake, Honorary Secretary of Sri Lanka Cricket, in the presence of Mr. Ashley de Silva, CEO of Sri Lanka Cricket, and distinguished guests Mr. Chandra Schaffter and Mr. Hemaka Amarasuriya.
