It is a proud moment for Indian football and a crucial step towards our aim of qualifying for the U17 men's and women's FIFA World Cups." The AIFF will oversee operations, technical aspects, talent scouting, and training curriculum in collaboration with FIFA, while the Sports Authority of Telangana will manage infrastructure, logistics, education, and player welfare support. This endeavor aligns with AIFF's "Vision 2047" plan to position India as a premier football nation. Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy remarked, "This academy will revolutionize girls' football. It is not only the first of its kind in India but also one of the few globally under FIFA's Talent Development Scheme. Young talents, especially girls, from Telangana and beyond will now have access to top-notch infrastructure, education, and a clear pathway to the national and international stage."
