Former Indian football captain Sunil Chhetri has become the first male participant in FIFA's Player Impact Programme. The initiative aims to help footballers bring positive changes to society. The second edition includes 13 players from different countries. Chhetri attended a three-day workshop in Boston, USA, in June. Players discussed ways to support education, mental health and equal access to sports. Chhetri said he was happy to join the programme and learn from other players. The participants will meet again in London and online in December to present their social projects and share their progress.
