FEI Cargo has joined hands with WIFA, Maharashtra’s Football Governing body, to support their ongoing campaign to promote grassroots football in the State.
The objective of the alliance would be to raise much-needed funds and interest for football in the state and these will be pumped into grassroots activity being conducted by WIFA.
Spearheaded by FEI’s Chairman, Mr. Pratap Nair, the first initiative by this alliance is a grand felicitation ceremony for the newly crowned Santosh Trophy Champions, Mizoram. This will be preceded by an exhibition match against a select team of WIFA XI, on June 5 2014.
His Excellency Shri. K Sankaranarayanan, the Governor of Maharastra has graciously agreed to Kick Off this match at the Cooperage Football Ground, which boasts of a new artificial turf, with floodlights to boot.
WIFA and FEI appeal and encourage all sports lovers to contribute generously to this noble endeavour to recognize and celebrate the Mizoram team’s glorious achievement, a hitherto unacknowledged football team who are now National Champions and secondly and importantly to raise funds for the development of the sport.
It will be the endeavour of the alliance to spread the game of football throughout the state and felicitate the winners of the Santosh Trophy annually, growing in scope and scale each year with your active support and encouragement.
One can contribute by buying perimeter boards which will be displayed at the Cooperage Football ground during the Match. Each Perimeter Board will be of 8ft x 3 ft and will cost Rs. 25,000 each, contributions also accepted for inside pages at a cost of Rs. 10,000 each.
