All India Football Federation president Kalyan Chaubey being felicitated at a press conference in Kolkata on Thursday. Chaubey announced his plans to expand women's football, and introduce a new age-group league to get the best talents at a young age. "We are shortly introducing an under-17 women's league in India in association with the Sports Authority of India," he said. Hinting that he would like to maintain a complete gender equality in Indian football, the AIFF president said the federation has the plan to introduce a minimum salary cap for the players in the Indian Women's League (IWL). "It is not right that honoraria of footballers should have huge differences at men's and women's levels. All efforts should be made to restore a balance," Chaubey added.
