In a world where women are striving and excelling in all walks of life, sports is no way behind. As a part of this change, Aparup Chakraborty , IFA Technical Director of Indian Football Association (WB) has organised Proindia She Believes Futsal Cup 2021, the 1st IFA approved under 13 Girls Futsal Tournament in Bengal on 24th of March 2021. As a first in the history of Indian futsal

Aparup had Liverpool Futsal as the International Partner for the tournament.

The AIFF Match Commissioner is continuing with his versatility and has introduced Football Analytics in an under age Girls' Futsal Tournament in India.

The Tournament was held with 6 teams in the League cum Knock out format. Aparup says, "Football Analytics is absolutely mandatory in modern Football / Futsal . We have analysed each kid and have shared the data with the coaches and scouts for the kids to be able to move to the next level. I believe that every tournament being organised must have a purpose or vision and without it the effort is futile."

Each kid who has participated in the tournament, has received a signed certificate from Mr Peter Sharples, the Secretary of National Futsal League ,UK.

"Its an absolutely great initiative by Proindia & Aparup. I am very happy to see his State Association IFA and Mr Joydeep Mukherjee supporting him", says Mr Sharples.

As the Technical Director of IFA, Aparup is also thinking of involving more under 12 girls by launching a Futsal Academy with no monthly fees to be taken from them as an initiative to take these girls forward.

Former India player Mehtab Hossain was the Chief Guest of the Tournament and was very impressed with the quality of the player. He said, " The more we involve players in the age group of 9 to 12, the more talents we will get and have the opportunity to nourish them."

The Tournament also had the presence of Mr Sunando Dhar, CEO, League Department, All India Football Federation who said, " Aparup is working with the correct age category and I wish him all the success. I will be happy to extend my support and help him in the future.
