The children trained for 5 hours daily, they visited Manchester United’s Old Trafford Stadium & Museum and Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium & Museum. The campers played four friendly matches against local English clubs.

The children got to meet England and ex-Liverpool striker Peter Crouch and his girl friend Abbey Clancy at the Inspire Academy. The other highlight of the tour was watching a live Premier League match between Manchester City and Blackburn at the City of Manchester Stadium.

The skills contest was won by PIFA student Aahant Singh.

Mala Chaddha parents of Vir & Vihan had this to say, "This is Vir & Vihan's second camp with PIFA. They have had such a blast, they are chatting about it non-stop. They are pretty exhausted but say that it was AWESOME. Both are Liverpool fans and they could not believe they were at Anfield. Vihan brought back some grass from there!”

The proceeds of these camps are utilized to develop teams from the PIFA Colaba community project undertaken by NGO - PIFA Foundation for benefit of sports. The next camp will be leaving on 12 June to visit football giants Real Madrid.
