23 SELECTED IN INDIAN SQUAD FOR AFC WOMEN'S ASIAN CUP QUALIFIERS
3 Players have been selected for the Indian Senior Women’s National Team for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup Qualifiers, slated to kick-off from April 03, 2017 in DPR Korea, after a Preparatory Camp took place in Goa from March 01, 2017 and is scheduled to conclude on March 30, 2017.
Praful Patel, the President of the all India Football Federation (AIFF), put his football skills on show at the Parliament complex in New Delhi, on Wednesday, 29th March.
The chief of Indian football looked pleased with his efforts as he looked on attempts by Prasun Bannerjee, the Arjuan Awardeeand former Indian footballer, alongside Babul Supriyo, all of whom took part in the Mass Football Distribution Program organized by Vijay Goel in the nation's capital.
It was a coterie of Member of Parliaments (MPs) who joined the Indian FA's chief and the Minister for Sports for a kickabout including Sumitra Mahajan, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Roopa Ganguly and Bhaichung Bhutia, the former India captain.
The exercise has been developed with aim to bring about awareness in football ahead of the U17 World Cup, scheduled to be held all over India, later this year. Goel also expressed hope, over the popular social media platform Twitter, that the participant MPs would spread the love of football in their respective constituencies. As per the program's mechanics, every Rajya Sabha MP would recieve a football.
Goel also promulgated and encouraged several Women MPs to take part in the event and promote football amongst young girls, ciitng the immense success of the Indian National Women's Football Team in recent times.
Meanwhile, feast your eyes on the football prowess of our AIFF President!
Looks like Kochi will struggle to get things done in time for the U17 world cup . FIFA delegation was not at all happy . Lots of work still pending . Training grounds still not ready , not even the turf work . Yet to finalize deal regarding bucket seats . There are lots of shops in the stadium and GCDA haven't informed them yet about shutting them down for 2 months . Heard that FIFA will consider plan B city if GCDA don't do things within the deadline which looks like an impossible task now. Also heard that plan B city is .... yup, PUNE .
AS much as I would love to see matches in Pune..but didnt FIFA canceled it out due to some floodlights issue? plus there is no training ground either nearby balewadi stadium (not proper one as of now)
That day might not be even a decade away when you see the Indian national anthem being played before a World Cup game!
India have been handed a shot in the arm by the Bureau of the FIFA Council – comprised of the FIFA President and the presidents of each of the six confederations, who convened this week and agreed upon a new list of slot allocations for the 48-team 2026 FIFA World Cup.
This recommendation will now be forwarded to the FIFA Council for ratification, which is expected to be a part of the agenda when they next convene on the 9th of May.
Why the proposed list of allocations might excite the Indian team and the All India Football Federation (AIFF) is because the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) have had their share of slots doubled!
In the existing scenario, AFC gets four confirmed slots plus one playoff slot, but the proposal hikes that to eight confirmed slots plus a maximum possible of two more to take part in a six-way playoff.
India, all set to move up to the 12th position on the list of AFC's rankings, will certainly smell blood with the new proposal and look to take full advantage of the same to cement themselves and play in their first-ever World Cup!
