Legendary football coach Arsene Wenger believes “cooperation” and “strong desire” between FIFA and AIFF will be key to the success of a central academy in India, for which he would visit the country next month.
Wenger, who met with All India Football Federation president Kalyan Chaubey and secretary general Shaji Prabhakaran last month in Australia to finalise setting up the academy, expressed he was “very optimistic” after the meeting.
“I would say that football is the most popular sport in the world and it looks logical that one of the biggest countries in the world has access to football development,” Wenger was quoted as saying in an AIFF release.
