India U-17 boys have been benefiting from the Federation's vision for junior national teams, by virtue of which, the players have also received training from the youth team coaches at Atletico de Madrid last week.

"We've had some very fruitful sessions with the coaches at Atletico, and it was a good experience for the boys. They are progressing at a swift pace," said Fernandes. India's match against Real Madrid U-17s will kick off at the Ciudad Deportiva del Real Madrid at 8:30 pm IST. (ANI)
