They have also been given all the necessary equipments and diet free of cost. Our boys team have been playing the MFA leagues and have developed in these years to now play in the senior team. 

In 2020, we also tied up with AMMA FC (Women’s Team) from Nagpur to give the ‘Rural Girls’ a fair opportunity to perform at the highest level, The Indian Women’s League (IWL). This team consisted of girls from Yavatmal, Jharkhand, Pune, Nagpur and Mumbai.

Annie Anthony from this squad made it to the Maharashtra State team. Along with Muskan Upadhyay and Sneha Uikey who were called for the Maharashtra State camp.

Muskan is now scouted by Krida prabhodhini and a part of the Maharashtra State team.
