By IANS News February 29, 2024 • 18:12 PM View: 1000

Swami Vivekananda U20 National Football: The All-India Football Federation (AIFF), on Thursday announced the commencement of the Men’s National Football Championship (NFC) for Under 20, taking another step towards improving the competition structure at the age-group level.

The newest age-group competition in AIFF’s calendar for the year 2023-24 will start in April and will be known as the ‘Swami Vivekananda U20 National Football Championship’. The championship will be held at the sprawling Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama in Narainpur, Chhattisgarh having an in-house full-fledged football pitch, training facilities and residential area, the AIFF informed on Thursday.

Following the discontinuation of the U21 competition during the Covid-19 pandemic, the AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey, last July, expressed the urgent need to restart the competition in the senior boys’ category to fill the existing void at this level.
