The event was attended by Dinesh Nair, Head of Youth Development and Grassroots, Mumbai City FC on Sunday afternoon.
After the sessions the kids were presented with a certificate, medal and a Mumbai City FC Kit to make sure the knowledge about football, clean drinking water and sanitation sticks with them throughout their lives.
