scouting application

NEW DELHI: Prompted by the success of the overseas online scouting portal which helped All India Football Federation discover players for the FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017, the AIFF on Tuesday took it a step further becoming the first national sports federation in India to launch a mobile based scouting application - Scout-Me - to unearth future talent.

It was through the overseas online scouting portal that AIFF had earlier unearthed Namit Deshpande and Sunny Dhaliwal for the Indian U17 squad which represented India in their maiden appearance at the U17 World Cup India 2017.
