His vision of grass-root level development of football took shape in 1960 with the formation of the Subroto Mukherjee Sports Education Society and this paved the way for the biggest soccer tournament in India starting with a small participation of 50 schools, today the participation stands at a remarkable level with 34,000 schools nationwide vying to qualify for the Subroto International Cup.Champion school teams from many foreign countries are also invited every year to participate. Sweden, Brazil, Ukraine, UK, Switzerland, Uzbekistan, Bangladesh and many more have participated in the tournament over the years.
Speaking on CISCE National Pre-Subroto Cup Tournament Mr. Gerry Arathoon, Chief Executive & Secretary said, “It is the only tournament of its kind, not only in India but in the entire soccer world. The development of an all-round personality and to pave the way for a bright future associated with sports and games is the steadfast objective of CISCE. Subroto Cup Tournament has produced many international players from India like BaichungBhutia, Syed Rahim Nabi, Robin Singh, Bruno Coutinho, ShyamThapa, Harjinder Singh and many others who have brought laurels to our country. This has remained a big occasion for football enthusiasts across the country and the tournament is only growing in stature.”
