In recent years, the 2017 U17 India batch is the most successful Age group team in the country.

1) Of the 21 players who represented India🇮🇳 in the U17 World Cup, 17 are playing in the 1st Division of Indian Football.

And 8 players are playing regularly in the first team. (1/4)
Whereas,

2.) From the Team that represented India in the 2012 U16 Asian Cup, only 4 players currently have an ISL contract and are not exactly first-team players.

3.) From the 2008 U16 Asian Cup Batch, only 1 player is playing regular football in the ISL. (2/4)
Now India has managed to qualify for the last three U16 Asian Cup Tournaments ( 2018, 2020, and 2023)

Therefore, it becomes very important for AIFF to ensure the best possible plan for these players to transition into regular starters for their ISL teams. (3/4)
According to you, what steps should AIFF take to ensure more and more age group players play in the ISL?

(4/4)
