AIFF chief Chaubey wants Kerala to contribute more to Indian football
The HinduKalyan Chaubey had been to Kerala as a player a few decades ago, and now he is back as an administrator, and he feels that little has changed in the State when it came to its passion for football. I had an opportunity to visit Kerala in the mid-nineties and late-nineties as a goalkeeper of different teams,” said Chaubey, the All India Football Federation president, during the International Sports Summit Kerala at the Sports Hub here on Wednesday. One thing I noticed, Kerala has not changed, it’s the same as it was 30 years ago,” “Then, there was a full house for FC Kochin, and now it’s for Kerala Blasters or Gokulam Kerala.” He felt football came naturally for folks in this part of the world. A few months ago, we had the para football Nationals in Delhi, there also Kerala was champion,” said the former India player. “So, this State has the potential to win the Santosh Trophy, to do well in beach football, to win the para Nationals and also to win the Indian Women’s Football League.
