Youth Development stays on the top of AIFF\u2019s priority list and we would never compromise on it. It\u2019s already started to yield results. I congratulate every member of the squad,\u201d Mr. Patel said in his statement.<\/p>\n<p>Indian National Team Coach Wim Koevermans congratulated the boys for the triumph. \u201cWell done boys. This is a huge moment in your career. You deserve it. Congratulations,\u201d Koevermans maintained.<\/p>\n<p>AIFF General Secretary Kushal Das praised the effort of the boys. \u201cCongratulations to the entire Team. AIFF is in the process of setting up Regional Academies all over the Country and within less than a year of setting up the Kolkata Regional Academy, we are SAFF U-16 Champions. More than the triumph, the manner the boys played makes me proud. Well done,\u201d Das pronounced.<\/p>\n<p>National Captain Sunil Chhetri said the feat acts as a \u201cmotivation for the Senior Team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am really happy for the boys. It\u2019s a great feat. I would like to congratulate the entire Team and Support Staff. It also acts as a motivation for us as we play the same Championship in another month\u2019s time,\u201d Chhetri quipped.<\/p>\n<p>Das added: \u201cWhat is extremely satisfying is that all of them are U-15 boys. They were medically tested prior to the Championship. AIFF follows a zero tolerance to age-cheating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott O\u2019Donell, Technical Director, AIFF Academies, who has been planning the setting up of the AIFF Academies couldn\u2019t have been more satisfied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are a wonderful set of boys.
