AIFF Planning Certification for Grassroots Centers
According to a report from Goa, AIFF is planning to implement certification for Grassroots centers. Once Implemented, it will bring all grassroots centers/school in a state under the state association. It will also ensure certain requirements are fulfilled and the centers will follow a same philosophy of development.
In future anyone who runs a grassroots center in a school, club or community can apply for affiliation with the respective state associations by fulfilling some basic criteria. The criteria are basic and are focused more on ensuring that the grassroots principles of AIFF and FIFA are followed.
Once the criteria is fulfilled, grassroots centers will be provided and affiliation certificate which will be valid for a year.
