Arsene Wenger, FIFA‘s Chief of Global Football Development, is scheduled to visit India from November 19 to 23, according to the president of the All India Football Federation (AIFF), Kalyan Chaubey. This visit follows discussions held in August between Wenger, Chaubey, and AIFF Secretary General Shaji Prabhakaran in Australia regarding the establishment of a central academy in India.
Chaubey expressed his gratitude to FIFA President Gianni Infantino for his keen interest in Indian football and confirmed Wenger’s visit dates in a tweet. He stated, “A big thank you to FIFA President Gianni Infantino for his keen interest in #IndianFootball. Via his office, we now have confirmation on Arsène Wenger’s India visit from 19-23 Nov. I wish to bring in ISL, ILeague club owners & football NGOs for a spl session hosted by @IndianFootball.”
Arsene Wenger has expressed his desire to collaborate with the AIFF on a talent development project, aiming to provide football education and joy to Indian children through this initiative. Wenger’s visit is anticipated to strengthen ties between FIFA and Indian football and potentially pave the way for significant developments in the sport’s infrastructure and youth development programs.
Wenger’s vast experience and knowledge in football management, garnered during his tenure as the manager of Arsenal FC and his role at FIFA, make him a valuable asset in nurturing football talent and elevating the standard of the sport in India.
This visit is highly anticipated by the Indian football community and could mark the beginning of a new era for football development in the country, with the potential to tap into India’s rich pool of young talent and groom future football stars on a global scale.
