PANAJI: Chelsea chief executive officer Peter Kenyon arrived in Goa on Monday and was received by AIFF secretary Alberto Colaco who said the visit would hopefully help cement a relationship with the English Premier League giants.
Colaco also said there's no agenda involved but talks will be held on the overall development of the game in the country.
"We are having a discussion right now. There will be an unofficial interaction with the media tomorrow," Colaco, who is in Goa now, said.
The world's highest paid CEO's visit is aimed at understanding Indian football and to develop the relationship between Chelsea and AIFF.
Senior national team coach Bob Houghton, who cut short his visit to Kolkata to be here for the meeting, met Kenyon along with AIFF officials and those from the Bharti Group to chart out a comprehensive development programme.
Chelsea were the first major team to sign an agreement with the Asian Football Confederation as official football development partner of AFC's Vision China project.
