AIFF in talks with corporates to fund building of National Centre of Excellence
All India Football Federation (AIFF) chief Praful Patel Thursday said it is in talks with corporate houses to fund the building of its state-of-the-art National Centre of Excellence in Kolkata.
Patel said this while chairing its Annual General Body Meeting.
"The AIFF is also in the process of developing a state of the art National Centre of Excellence in Rajarhat, Kolkata. The land is in the heart of the city and work is slated to begin soon. It will cost us Rs. 200 crores, and we are in talks with some corporates," Patel said.
There would be a lot of ancillary facilities other than the ground alright (gym, swimming pool, conference rooms, hostels, practice grounds, and the lot), but they will surely pocket half of the Rs 200 Cr. Let's see which Corporates come forward for this.
Yeah, I know that. But how is AIFF using the miney? We haven't seen them doing anything with that money. No new stadiums, no new pitches. Only foreign tours for youth teams.
