Dr. MS Gill, Minister for Youth Affairs & Sports, will be travelling to Zurich to meet FIFA president Joseph S Blatter.
The minister is scheduled to kick-off his journey on Tuesday and he will be accompanied by the AIFF general secretary Alberto Colaco.
Gill is expected to hold detailed discussions on his plans to improve the standard of Indian football.
The visit of the FIFA Headquarters is a surprising step forward by the minister, after slamming the status of Indian football during a press conference in February.
