World football legends Esteban Cambiasso and Nwankwo Kanu to be present in the grand footballing occasion.
The AIFF General Secretary Mr Kushal Das told www.xtratime.in correspondent Gopal Roy, “Kanu and Cambiasso will be present to glorify the grand occasion. It will be a super moment in Indian football.”
Former Ghana stars Samuel Kuffour and Stephen Appiah, Nigeria’s Nwankwo Kanu and Celestine Babayaro and Switzerland’s Granit Xhaka are some of the big names who have won this event.
