The FPAI Indian Football Awards 2018 handed out at CSJC in Kolkata!

The Football Players Association of India (FPAI) have announced the winners across all categories of their annual Indian Football Awards on Tuesday, June 12, 2018 at the Calcutta Sports Journalists Club in Kolkata.

Unlike in earlier years, the FPAI did not host a gala evening or a handing over ceremony at a football ground like last year in Aizawl, but a press conference followed by the prize distribution which had AIFF Senior Vice-President Subrata Dutta as the Chief Guest and other former footballers as guests.
