The Blue Cubs program is a part of Vision 2047, launched by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) to revolutionize Indian football.

It was announced on June 23, coinciding with the birth anniversary of Pradeep Kumar Banerjee, a renowned football player from pre-independence India.

The program aims to create a comprehensive grassroots structure across the country.

The Blue Cubs program is built on four foundational pillars: Connect, Unleash, Build, and Support.

Connect: Focuses on building strong relationships among various stakeholders involved in football development.
