Football for schools: FIFA signs MoU with AIFF & education ministry

Mumbai/IBNS: The All India Football Federation, Union Ministry for Education and the FIFA have jointly signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for development of football through the schools across India.

Kolkata, Oct 27 (IBNS): FIFA President Gianni Infantino described the FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017 as a “resounding success which has broken all kinds of records.”

“When the U-17 World Cup was allotted to India I wasn’t a part of FIFA. But now I can say that it’s all set to surpass the all-time attendance record for the U-17 World Cup achieved in China in 1985 and I feel India can also beat the record of attendance of U-20 World Cup achieved in Colombia. “India is not a country but a continent,” the FIFA President maintained.
