Developing grassroots football one of my personal priorities: AIFF secretary general Shaji Prabhakaran
May 17, 2023
The Blue Cubs grassroots programme, which would help in developing the foundation for Blue Tigers (senior men's team), was announced by the AIFF Executive Committee in its meeting held last month. It is thoroughly multi-dimensional with collaborations at multiple levels, including government NGOs, schools, clubs, academies and others. Last week, the Federation also announced that June 23, the birth anniversary of Pradip Kumar Banerjee, India's captain in the 1960 Rome Olympics and popularly known as PK, will henceforth be celebrated as 'AIFF Grassroots Day'.
