Initiative to popularise football in schools

The Western India Football Association and ISL club, Mumbai City FC, have launched a new initiative with the support of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai to promote the game in some city schools.

The initiative, ‘Just Play’ sessions, would first be started in ten schools within Mumbai by March 2017, before it’s spread to encompass approximately 80 schools and reach 30,000 children in Maharashtra by the end of next year, said a media release today.
