Mr. Baan  will be responsible for structuring the development plan jointly with  FIFA and laying the philosophy of Indian football for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> \u201cAIFF aims to establish four Regional Football Academies and one Elite  Academy by 31st March 2012. These Academies will be developed with  Technical Support from FIFA, Philips and PSV. Mr. Baan will work closely  with AIFF\/FIFA, PSV and Philips to get the best possible structure and  design of the Academies to achieve optimal results as quickly as  possible. We trust that over the next few years the level of our  National squads will improve significantly as will our FIFA ranking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Baan thanked the AIFF for giving him the chance to serve Indian  football. \u201cIt is fantastic that AIFF has given me the chance to use my  year-long expertise in India. Recent research reports have shown that  football is a sport with huge potential in India. With its dazzling 1.2  billion people, rich history and culture India is a sleeping giant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> \u201cIn the next two years I will work hard together with PSV and AIFF to  lay the groundwork for the future of Indian football.
