Two Indian youth teams would rub shoulders with their German counterparts in September as Bundesliga plans to take its partnership with the All India Football Federation (AIFF) one step forward.
Bundesliga plans to give the Indian youngsters an opportunity to play with and against youth teams of various German clubs and provide them the exposure against top level competition in their relevant age groups.
"In September, it is planned that two Indian youth teams will reach here for training camps. We will, on our part, support the organisation of these camps and the Indian teams will play against and practise with German youth teams," Bundesliga Commercial Director Jorg Daubitzer said.
The Bundesliga also wants to involve the German clubs more into its strategic alliance with the AIFF.
"The next step on our side will now be to involve our clubs more and more in the realisation of common projects."
"In August, it is planned that a delegation of DFL and club representatives will visit India for a club workshop. Our representatives will most probably speak about topics like fan development, club marketing and youth development to the Indian clubs," he said.
Daubitzer said an AIFF delegation, in preparation for the first ever professional league in India later this year, visited Germany in April to learn more about functioning of the DFL.
Besides several workshops at the DFL, the AIFF representatives visited the clubs and saw them working as well as the organisation of a Bundesliga match day in the stadium. The focus of the exercise was also on league and club marketing, youth football, fan development and player administration.
