This youth tournament has touched the lives of 2,500 children through its Kick Off The Dream Football Carnivals, two editions of which have been held in Odisha.
Promoting women in leadership, the Local Organising Committee (LOC) has also equipped the Indian footballing ecosystem with 162 female coaches in the grassroots through its legacy initiative, the Coach Education Scholarship Programme. Further editions of both, the coaching programme and the football carnival, are planned in the lead-up to the October 11 kick-off.
