New Delhi: The historic News9’s Indian Tigers and Tigresses initiative has given a lifetime opportunity to as many as 28 Indian kids to get a specialised training in football in Austria. It all began with the TV9 Network’s scheme getting as many as 50,000 applications as part of the nationwide football talent hunt, which happens to be a unique initiative.
From every corner of the country, youngsters with an inclination towards football, were picked which was followed by trials being held in different states. As many as eight scouting camps were held across different states in India and from 50,000 registrations, the number was pruned to 10,000 which included 7,000 boys and 3,000 girls. Further trimming was done and just 28 students qualified for the finals.
As per the initiative, all the 28 students would be headed to Austria to get international exposure and train under the best European facilities. All the football enthusiasts have a dream in common and that it to represent Indian internationally in time to come.
