\"letsMumbai:<\/strong> Football Sports Development Limited will kick off a four-team Under-17 Women\u2019s Tournament and organise Children\u2019s Leagues starting 2019-20 season.<\/p>\n

Nita Ambani, Chairperson, Football Sports Development Limited and Reliance Foundation announced two key initiatives aimed at propelling growth of football in India, especially amongst girls. Ambani revealed the plans while addressing the Indian Super League club owners\u2019 meet here in Mumbai on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Over 100 women will participate in a four-team format for U17 Women\u2019s tournament. India is hosting FIFA U-17 Women\u2019s World Cup in India in October 2020. The Under-17 Women\u2019s Tournament is aimed to provide an opportunity for the players to show-case their talent for selection to the Indian team.<\/p>\n

The tournament is scheduled in mid-November. It will be telecast live on Star Sports, Hotstar and Jio TV.<\/p>\n

The ISL Children\u2019s League is yet another significant initiative declared in the meeting to propel the growth of football in country. ISL Children\u2019s Leagues will feature over 38,000 children under 6, 8, 10 and 12-year age groups across 12 states over the next 3 years. In the first phase, the Children\u2019s Leagues will commence in 3 states, ieWest Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya, covering 15 districts, each having its own league.<\/p>\n

By 2021-22, the Children\u2019s Leagues are expected to have a footprint in 40 districts across 12 states with participation from over 38,000 children.<\/p>\n

Nita Ambani said :<\/strong> \u201cIt\u2019s my vision to introduce millions of children to multiple sports disciplines. Over the years, through the initiatives of ISL Club academies, Reliance Foundation Young Champs, and Reliance Foundation Youth Sports we have made significant progress in promoting football, identifying talent and providing a professional environment for young India to showcase their skills.Over 9 million children\u2019s have been impacted through our RF Youth Sports and RF Young Champs program.<\/p>\n

\u201cHosting of the FIFA Under 17 World Cup in 2017 has ignited the interest amongst youngsters towards football and I am certain that the FIFA U-17 Women\u2019s World Cup 2020 will further accelerate this journey. Through the two initiatives of Women\u2019s U17 Tournament and Children\u2019s Leagues, we sincerely hope to further popularise the sport in India.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
