MUMBAI: Nike India announced a football initiative on Friday, a website www.nikefootball.in, for Indian fans, apart from a talent hunt project named ‘Where’s the next’, aimed at spotting an outstanding young footballer (age group 15-17 years).

The chosen Indian youngster will be part of an 11-member Asian selection squad sent to Barcelona to train for a week at FC Barcelona in August 2007, according to a media release. The chosen boys will also play against FCB youth team and watch the Spanish football giant in action.
