Former India international football players C.K. Vineeth and Rino Anto are set to embark on a four-month-long journey across the tribal pockets of the country in an attempt to unearth hidden football gems and explore the scope for setting up football academies.
The campaign ‘Soccer Safari – Exploring India’s Football Heartlands’, jointly organised by Thirteenth Foundation and Plan D Trips, is likely to be flagged off by actor Mammootty later in January 2024. It will also associate with the International Sports Summit Kerala, a four-day event to be held at Sports Hub in Thiruvananthapuram from January 23 to 26. The two former Indian players will then hit the road on February 1.
