All India Football Federation (AIFF) President Praful Patel has laid down a challenge to the various member state associations, calling for a greater involvement to take Indian football to a brighter future.
Patel feels that the outlook for Indian football is positive and with the support from a football-loving Union Sports Minister in Kiren Rijiju, there is a lot of potential for what the Indian FA can accomplish.
It must be noted that the AIFF has implemented steps to decentralise control over the youth leagues with states given the responsibility to conduct them from the upcoming season.
