Representatives from Barça Academy India met with Pushkar Singh Dhami in early April 2026 to explore opportunities for advancing football development in Uttarakhand. The discussions centered around introducing globally recognized Barça training methodologies through structured initiatives such as Barça Camps, Clinics, and the establishment of a dedicated academy. This collaboration aims to nurture local talent by providing access to professional coaching, modern training techniques, and pathways to international exposure. The initiative reflects a shared vision to strengthen grassroots football and position Uttarakhand as a growing hub for aspiring footballers in India.
