New Delhi: The All India Football Federation is aiming to make the next AFC Conference on Science and Football Medicine which the nation will host in 2015 a huge success.
A two-member AFC delegation led by its Medical Committee Chairman Dato’ Dr. Gurcharan Singh visited New Delhi for potential venues inspection for the mega event.
The conference, the first of its kind to be held in India, is scheduled to be held in New Delhi from April 2 to 4, 2015, and around 800-1,000 participants from all over the world are expected to attend the conference which is held every four years.
During the inspection visit, the AFC delegation had meetings with the AIFF led by its General Secretary Kushal Das and also attended by FIFA Regional Developmental Officer for South and Central Asia Dr. Shaji Prabhakaran, as well as AIFF departmental heads.
“The AFC team led by Dato’ Dr. Gurcharan Singh came over to inspect the possible venues for the 5th AFC Medical Conference to be held in New Delhi in April 2015,” Das told The-AIFF.com.
“They were extremely satisfied with the facilities and were optimistic that this would be a very good conference with big participation.
“The AIFF along with the FIFA Development Office will make every effort to make this conference a big success.”
The conference in India is expected to be a success on the back of the 2011 edition in Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur which saw a record number of more than 400 participants.
