@jitug1979 There are strong rumours that the Championship is cancelled. Even Bibiano expressed his doubts over the championship in a recent interview. They are still training because no official announcement is out. The proposed date was 31 March - 17 April.
Bibiano should take charge of Indian Arrows and prepare the team for 2023 AFC U20 Asian Cup. As I said before, it will be a mixture of his current batch (2004, 2005) and current Arrows (2003). Bibiano has worked with most of Arrows players too for the last 2018 AFC U16 Cup.
Moreover, Bibiano deserves a promotion for his 2 batches' performance. He can't just continue to be U16 Manager for ever. Taking charge of a league team will be a good test for him too.
AIFF should vase this u16 batch in any good european country (preferably Germany or France) and arrange for them to participate in that country's national youth league (u18 league). That will be a tremendous learning experience for this bunch and who knows, a few of the boys may catch eyes of scouts from different clubs and be recruited. We already have a MOU with German Football association and with french as well.
