Priyanka Sujeesh, a 16-year-old cadet from Manchester City Football School Corvuss American Academy in Maharashtra, India, has been called up to the India U20 national team for the qualifiers of the 2022 AFC U20 Cup.
The talented footballer started her career as a striker and later shifted to the right flank and now plays as a midfielder. The Manchester City Corvuss Academy trains their cadets five days a week for two hours where Sujeesh takes her lessons under the academy’s head coach Ben Charlton.
Ahead of joining the national camp in order to motivate the young girl, Manchester City even arranged a virtual session with the club women’s team and the England national left-back Demi Stokes who featured in the 2019 World Cup.
