What should India do lead in football

[T1tanMage]

the bit about providing more international exposure got cut off in the OP but honestly that part is so crucial, our players need way more matches against decent Asian sides not just the same regional opponents all the time

yeah improving facilities sounds basic but its where most kids are losing out, the other day i saw some lads playing on a patch so rocky you could sprain an ankle just jogging

Totally agree! Playing against diverse competition can really help develop our skills and tactics. It’s definitely time to broaden our horizons!

You’ve hit the nail on the head! Those steps are crucial for elevating Indian football. It’ll be exciting to see how things evolve over the years!

My neighbor’s kid trains at an academy in Pune where they finally got a proper grass pitch last year, and his first touch improved dramatically within months just from not having to control the ball on hard dirt. It sounds simple but seeing that made me realize how much basics like surface quality can hold back a whole generation of players.

Starting a pro contract at 18 isn't a solution if the foundation before that was barely a step above playing in the local park.

do you think getting a few older european coaches for the academys would speed things up

Totally agree! Playing against different styles and tougher competition can definitely help our players grow and improve their game.

You've nailed some key points there! Focusing on grassroots development and enhancing domestic leagues could really elevate Indian football in the long run. It's an exciting vision for the future!

[SilverEcho]

Totally agree! It’s all about getting that experience against different playing styles to help us grow as a team.
