which are your favoured locations for these academies?
bangalore
kerala
mizoram
punjab
elite academy delhi
delhi already possess a academy along with bangalore as well...
in next set of academies i see the places like kerala, sikkim and possibly punjab would be the one who might get this oppurtunity....and the 4th should be from a place either from NE or from central india which is not much into the national structure of football
4 more academies in mid 2013 that means a total of 9 fifa approved acadamies by 2013.
Which means a huge pool of players to select for the U17 World Cup in 2017. These 14 years olds should be 17-18 by that time (technically still eligible for the Cup if they were below 17 during the qualifiers). And then when 2022 comes around they will be 24-25 year olds and beating the top teams.
The future looks bright.
According to AIFF best 60 players after 2 years make it to Elite Academy and thankfully rest of them will remain with the Academies till 18 and then move to Clubs. B-)
We should also start the I-League U19 Youth League and have the AIFF Elite Academy play in it. Like Australia do with there youth league, they have the Australian Sports Academy playing in it.
