The All India Football Federation (AIFF) on November 24 said it will kick off its ambitious Youth Leagues in the second week of December, beginning the competition in the U-17 category.
In order to ensure fair play, the AIFF said it will conduct TW3 Tests for the U-13 and U-15 Youth Leagues, starting in January, as part of a strategy to tackle age fraud.
Over 50 teams are expected to participate, with direct entry granted to sides from the Indian Super League (ISL), I-League, I-League 2 and elite academies with AIFF accreditation.
