The Issue

Urge AIFF to Consider Ranjit Bajaj for India's Future U-15 National Team

More than 100,000 supporters have already signed this petition. Together, we believe India's next generation of footballers deserves the strongest possible leadership as the country prepares for future international competitions, including the FIFA U-15 World Cup.

The inaugural FIFA U-15 World Cup presents a historic opportunity for young footballers around the world. As a FIFA Member Association, India has a chance to showcase its emerging talent on the global stage. The decisions made today about youth development and coaching will shape Indian football for years to come.

We believe India's young players deserve coaches with a proven record of grassroots development, talent identification, player development, and creating winning environments. For this reason, we respectfully urge the All India Football Federation (AIFF) to give serious consideration to Ranjit Bajaj for future U-15 national team coaching opportunities.

India is home to more than 1.4 billion people and possesses enormous footballing potential. Unlocking that potential requires long-term investment in youth development and merit-based leadership.

Many supporters believe Ranjit Bajaj has demonstrated a strong commitment to grassroots football and youth development through his work with Minerva Academy, where numerous young players have progressed to professional football and youth national teams. His emphasis on discipline, player development, and competitive standards has earned him the respect of many within the Indian football community.

This petition is not directed against any coach, official, or player. It is a respectful appeal for AIFF to continue strengthening Indian football by selecting youth coaches through a transparent, merit-based process and by giving serious consideration to experienced grassroots leaders such as Ranjit Bajaj.

We respectfully ask AIFF to:

 

- Give serious consideration to Ranjit Bajaj for future U-15 national team coaching opportunities.

- Prioritize coaches with a proven record of grassroots and youth player development.

- Ensure youth coaching appointments are transparent, merit-based, and focused on the long-term success of Indian football.

- Continue building a pathway that gives every talented young footballer the best opportunity to succeed.

More than 100000+ people have already joined this movement. Every additional signature strengthens the message that Indian football supporters care deeply about the future of our youth teams.
