Infrastructure and facilities

Having great infrastructure, training facilities and technology plays a pivotal role. From player-fitness monitoring to broadcasting, coaching, analyzing tactical approach of opponents and spotting mistakes in games, all these parts play a vital role in football.

India do have so many stadiums, but they are mostly multi-purpose arenas, not dedicated solely to football. We need world class stadiums meant to host only football matches which can compete with European arenas

Every citizen knows the value of the government’s contribution towards the development of sports in the country, and it is the government’s responsibility to boost the development by improving basic infrastructure, providing training and fitness centers and financing the sports bodies as well.

The neighbors China came up with the idea of building stadiums and playing areas open to public and India can always look up to them and follow their path in this regard, which helps the cause.

Football being failing to make as much impact as cricket managed to do in this country symbolizes that there is still a plenty of room for growth. This gives us a tiny visualization about how much effort the AIFF has to put in to popularize the game and its significance in the sub-continent.

Hosting big tournaments, international and European club friendlies on home turf is necessary to reach out to more number of fans as well. Watching Messi and Ronaldo playing in India is bliss indeed!!!
