Kahn was greeted by AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey and football enthusiast Kaushik Moulik here, on his arrival.

"Had an absolute honour in welcoming Mr. @OliverKahn to India. In our informal discussion on #IndianFootball we deliberated & explored on many topics of development, including the scope of having a Goalkeeping Academy. I wish him a pleasant stay in India," AIFF chief wrote on X.

One of the aspects of Kahn's visit will be the unveiling of Oliver Kahn's perspective on the road map of Indian football.
