But we don't have more talented football administrators in our country. A new breed of football professionals is required, and hence, we took it upon ourselves to start this Masters Programme,” said Praful Patel.

With comprehensive learning, you will be going through, the Masters Course will bring you on par with the best in the world,” added the official.
