For more than 15 years CTM Sports and Brazil Sports Network have brought dozens of football players and coaches in some of the top clubs in India such as Mohan Bagan, East Bengal, Dempo Club, Churchil Brothers, Vasco Club, etc.

But this Brazil-India connection was never intended to be a one-way road. And it was in 2011 that we sent the first Indian player to Brazil for advance coaching.  

Samarth Salvi, a student from St. Vincent College in Pune, was 15 at the time he was sent to Sao Paulo for a 2 years contract. From being a star striker in India, he faced a tougher challenge playing among Brazilians. But it was a great learning experience for him and for us as a company. 

We are hoping that in years to come this Brazil-India connection will continue to see many young boys going oversees to learn the art of playing the “beautiful game”!
