The federation aims to represent the 2.1 billion players of small-sided football across the globe.
Following his election, Trunkwala said, “In line with my efforts to develop the Socca sport, I have visited several countries in South Asia, Middle East and the Gulf region. These efforts come as part of the wider preparations for the Socca World Cup scheduled to be held in Lisbon, Portugal in October 2018.”
