Football for schools

All India Football Federation: The Football for Schools (F4S) programme which kicked off at the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya in Cuttack, Odisha, on December 3 last year has now reached various districts, including Angul, Dhenkanal, and Deogarh in Odisha, North Goa and South Goa in Goa, and also the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra and the union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu.

The F4S initiative, launched under the larger project FIFA Football for Schools, is designed to significantly enhance the accessibility of football for students within the school setting, fostering a love for the game and promoting a healthier lifestyle.

It is a transformative journey embarked upon by the Department of School Education & Literacy, in collaboration with the All India Football Federation (AIFF) and the Federation International de Football Association (FIFA).
