Who's 97th place in the FIFA rankings ? It is a country which is filled with 1.3 Billion people. So many people, but then why so bad at football ? The obvious answer would've be 'not many play', but that isn't true.
In almost every outdoor sport, a person tends to kick something out of frustration, boredom, disappointment or just with laziness. Many, many people in India would have played football occasionally, but prefer a different sport to it. And many of those people whose favorite sport is football, don't turn out to be pretty good.
But India also has disadvantages. Most Indians are kind of puny, compared to Europeans or Americans. India also focuses more on other sports than on football.
But then, how will Indian football improve ?
The answer is simple : make as many Fields as you can and get young people to play in their. But by fields, I mean those which are open to everybody.
Maybe ISL was a good initiative towards Indian football. Actually I am totally against it because it's all about advertising. But with that Indian Football has also become more popular.
I think the Federation should put up more junior leagues so that they can be more junior players and then in the future we can hope for a bright Indian football
Best of luck Indian football. We hope you are top class in the coming future.
