“My congratulations to LFA for unveiling the website today. I went to Ladakh last October and watched matches in the Climate Cup there. There, I experienced how popular football is and how much potential footballers have. I genuinely feel there is a huge opportunity to develop football in Ladakh.
“Having said this, we know the state has logistical challenges. We will try and support football development there in the best possible manner,” said Chaubey.

After all, this is the time of social media; one can communicate and share news at the click of a button. Let us avail of this opportunity and do our best for the development of the game,” the AIFF President said.
Ladakh Football Association General Secretary Tsering Angmo said, “We are a new state association in a state that has a curtailed season because of climatic conditions. Yet, football remains a highly popular sport in Ladakh. This website will not only help us spread our activities and update our calendars, but it will also be helpful in marketing and sponsorship matters. I am confident the launch of this website will help spread the message of the game.”(ANI)
