The Ministry of Education has partnered with Fédération internationale de football association (FIFA) to promote football in schools across India. Their joint initiative aims to distribute 11 lakh footballs to more than 1.5 lakh schools, making the sport accessible to students nationwide. The initiative seeks to integrate football-related activities into the education system, emphasizing inclusivity regardless of gender.


      Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan recently distributed 6,848 footballs to schools in Odisha as part of the Footballs for Schools (F4S) program.

      The F4S program, launched in December, has expanded its reach to various states, including Odisha, Goa, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and Daman and Diu.
