Classic Football Academy: The AIFF U-17 Youth League 2023-24 is at its business end, and the defending champions Classic Football Academy are once again in the semifinals of the tournament.

While their focus remains on doing well in this age-group competition, they also have the wider aim of providing their players with a pathway to the junior national teams, from where they could potentially go even further.

Classic FA U-17 head coach Chandan Chitrasen Singh believes that the new format of the AIFF U-17 Youth League, which was implemented in 2023, has been instrumental in the improvement that his players have seen.
