Golden Baby Leagues help generate passion for football in rural Manipur

Golden Baby Leagues help generate passion for football in rural Manipur

New Delhi, Nov 29 (UNI) Since its inception, the Golden Baby Leagues initiative, started by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) in 2018, has helped light a footballing spark among young children across the country and in rural Manipur, they are also providing hope to families of a brighter future.
"Our objective of starting these Golden Baby Leagues was to introduce underprivileged children to football and give them an opportunity to play under the banner of the AIFF. Almost everyone here is passionate about football but most people come from underprivileged backgrounds and do not have money to buy even stockings.
"Our aim is to provide access to such children, which can enable them to keep working in the sport and make a name for themselves in the future," Rabisankar Singh Chingtham, who is the League Operator for the Manipur Golden Baby League and LSDC Golden Baby League in Andro and Laimapokpam respectively, told www.the-aiff.com.
