With ambitious plans and plenty of hope, the Kerala Football Association launched its new Kerala Youth Development Project in Kochi on September 23 evening. The project aims to produce around 200 quality players who may go on to play for the Indian Super League, I-League, and other leagues. The project includes the formation of five quality teams, in various age groups from under-13 to under-21, which will participate in a league held across the State’s 14 districts. The league will also see the return of the Chakolas Gold Trophy after 40 years. The Chakolas Trophy was a prominent all-India men’s tournament last played in 1983. The Asian Football Confederation general secretary Windsor John unveiled the league’s trophy while Kerala Sports Minister V. Abdurahiman launched the league’s logo. The Kerala Football Association hopes that the league will produce around 200 quality players who may go on to play for top leagues, which could potentially change their lives. The launch event saw the presence of All India Football Federation secretary general Shaji Prabhakaran, KFA president Navas Meeran, and secretary P. Anilkumar, among others.
