AIFF's Three-day Conclave A ‘reality Check’ On Indian Football Ecosystem
AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey: The three-day AIFF State Gradation and State-Specific Strategic Plans that concluded at the Football House here on Thursday turned out to be a unique meeting on many counts. The meetings, on all three days, were chaired by AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey and acted as a 'reality check’ on the Indian football ecosystem.
For the first time, 32 Member Associations (MAs) from across India converged to discuss and deliberate upon the diverse challenges ahead for Indian football in each state of India.
Prince Rufus, Lead, Regional Office South Asia, FIFA, who was present in the meeting on all three days, said, "In my two decades with football across various roles, this is the first time the All India Football Federation is actively engaging each of its affiliated units in open discussions and reality checks on the Indian football ecosystem. “This approach will enable AIFF to better understand and effectively address challenges. I am confident that this three-day strategic planning meeting will be instrumental in advancing Indian football," he said.
