AIFF takes strategic steps to reform Grassroots football in India

New Delhi, May 15 (UNI) In an effort to bolster the grassroots football structure as put forth in the Vision 2047 Strategic Plan, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) has taken the vital step of announcing its own National Grassroots Football Day, which will be held on June 23 – a date that marks the birth anniversary of Indian Football legend PK Banerjee in 1936.
The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) celebrates it's Grassroots Football Day on May 15 every year and the current edition in 2023 marks the 10 year anniversary of the event.
As per the AFC definition, grassroots football is defined as “all football that is non-professional and non-elite” and examples include children's football, school or youth football, amateur football, football for disabled players, and even football for veterans. In short, it is the football played by the masses at a level where participation and love of the game are paramount.
