AIFF to assess players from U-16 Youth League for U-17 World Cup team

All India Football Federation will be organizing three scouting camps spearheaded by former Indian International Abhishek Yadav, the current Director of All India Football Federation(AIFF) in a bid to strengthen the U-17 Indian squad for the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2017.

AIFF has requested all the 55 participating clubs playing in the U-16 Youth League to nominate three players each from their roster.
