Bajaj Allianz Junior Football Camp is an initiative that focuses on grooming India's young footballers into tomorrow's national and international champions.
It is an annual event, wherein the lucky winners visit Germany and are trained by FC Bayern Munich coaches for five days. The camp in India began in 2010 and the last 4 years have seen them unearth some great hidden talent.
The event is generally organized in 120 cities across India and the country has recorded the highest participation among all other 25 eligible nations like Brazil, Spain, Netherlands, Thailand etc. These matches were organized in football frenzied cities like Delhi, Chandigarh, Pune, Mumbai, Kerala, Kolkata and North East India.
The Bajaj Allianz Junior Football Camp is organized in various cities in India but especially in remote towns where such opportunities are not highlighted very often. The idea is to get the best pool of talent from across India and not just the metro cities.
With around 800 schools and 30 clubs tapped, the program helps some talented kids see their dreams turn into reality. The program has been quite a success so far and we anticipate an increased participation this year.
Here are some figures from Junior Football Camp 2013 to give you an idea about the impact the program created
Over 38000 registrations were received from Delhi, Chandigarh, Pune, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, some cities in Kerala and the East of India during 2013 season.
100 teenagers were selected to play in the city finale. 15 teenagers were selected from the city finale to represent their city in the national finale.
5 final winners were then selected and sent to the camp in Munich.
Junior Football Camp 2014
As our quest continues for the fifth consecutive year in Junior Football Camp Season 5, we urge the nation to look forward to the next set of football enthusiasts. Along with the opportunity of being trained by the best footballers, it will also expose the kids to the international standards of major European lubs and is a major career boost for the children, if they aspire to be footballers someday.
