The All India Football Federation (AIFF) is basking in the glory of its second AFC Grassroots Football Award, with the first being earned in 2014. This accolade underscores the AIFF’s dedication to promoting grassroots football in India, featuring numerous innovative initiatives.
Several special projects are part of this endeavor, such as the AIFF Blue Cubs program, Blue Cubs Coaching Courses, Blue Cubs Leagues, Blue Cubs Football Schools, AIFF Grassroots Awards, AIFF Institutional League for Non-Professional Entities, AIFF Project Diamond, and various other grassroots-level initiatives.
The AIFF’s commitment to expanding football participation is evident through a range of activities and events, including the AFC Grassroots Day 2023, AIFF Academy Accreditation, AIFF Golden Baby Leagues, Grassroots Coach Development Courses, Blue Cubs Leader Courses, and Grassroots Coach Educators Courses. These initiatives reflect the AIFF’s ongoing efforts to nurture football talent from the grassroots, ultimately raising the standards of both youth and senior football in the country.
AIFF President Mr. Kalyan Chaubey expressed his thoughts on the award, stating, “It is a good achievement for Indian Football, and with this recognition from AFC, we are further motivated to do our best to impact the development of grassroots football in India. Our Grassroots Committee deserves much appreciation. Our aim and focus have always been to develop football from the grassroots level across the country, and the result is there for everyone to see.”
AIFF Secretary General Dr. Shaji Prabhakaran added, “This award by the AFC for our grassroots work reflects that our flagship grassroots initiative ‘Blue Cubs’ will transform India’s grassroots landscape in the next few years. We have a lot of work ahead to engage more children in the beautiful game, and our goal should be to win the AFC Diamond Category Award with our exceptional work in grassroots football. We would like to compliment our MAs and other stakeholders for their improved focus towards grassroots football, and we as one team will shape a better future of football in India by having a robust grassroots structure and system in India.”
This recognition reinforces the AIFF’s commitment to fostering footballing talent from the ground up, setting the stage for a promising future for Indian football.
