AIFF leadership meets with Belgian counterparts to discuss Indian football

At the Royal Belgian Football Association's offices, Chaubey and Prabhakaran were welcomed by the organization's CEO Peter Bossaert, operations director for football Jelle Schelstraete, and adviser Hedeli Sassi.

Following the meeting, Chaubey stated: "We had a very fruitful meeting with Royal Belgian Football Association, who will help us improve on multiple technical standpoints. Belgium has been one of the leaders in world football in the last decade, and this is a great opportunity for India to gain from their experience."

Prabhakaran added, "This is a new dawn for Indian football, and the positive dialogue with RBFA will further continue to create a synergy for development in areas like scouting, talent development, coach education, youth team training and also the possibility of having exposure tours.
