Pune January 2024

Project Pune

We have trained 27 enthusiastic Indian football coaches, ready to inspire and educate a new generation of young stars in football.

This course included football technique and strategy (“Dutch football school”), training, coaching and life skills for children. But more importantly, it was about building character and resilience in underprivileged children. Special thanks to Dr Sreystha Beppari, who led an interactive on the mental health challenges and personal development of underprivileged children. 

Our ambassador, Dr Prof. Mahesh Thakur, ended this week with inspiring words about being more than just athletes but true leaders and changemakers in our society. 

The week concluded with a vibrant football day for 65 fantastic children from the community. The energy, joy and passion were palpable.
