Dear All,
Greetings from the National Eyeway Helpdesk!
Please, follow below the Yesterday's Eyeway Alerts:

1. News-
KOCHI: For a long time, the Indian Blind Football Federation (IBFF)
has been on a mission to create a sustainable environment for the
growth of blind football in India. Fighting odds, it organised
national-level tournaments and exposure trips for the blind national
team, only to be pulled back by the lack of support from the All India
Football Federation (AIFF). But, not anymore. With an intensive
three-day coaching session by national goalkeeping coach Rogerio
Ramos, AIFF began its engagement with the blind football fraternity in
India. Besides, in first-of-its-kind gesture, the Indian Men's
Football Team donated Rs 50,000 to the team to buy blind footballs and
improve training facilities. "We have been reaching out to them for
while. AIFF has been offering technical support since last December.
As a beginning, the national team's coaching staff took the interest
to engage us in goalkeeping training. Now, the given amount will be
used for buying equipment and meeting our academy expenses," says
Sunil J Mathew, sporting director, IBFF. Source:
