The activity culminated in a showcase event at the Cooperage Football Ground in Mumbai.
The community coaches put the skills they have learned into practice with 80 children from the Oscar Foundation, highlighting how the programme empowers local leaders to inspire the next generation through football.
Among the special guests in attendance were UK PM Starmer and Premier League legend Michael Owen, who interacted with the coaches and the young players.
Starmer said: "I'm hugely proud of our national sport -- it brings communities together and changes lives."
