Being the number 2 sport in a country with over a Billion people, you would think that the National Football team would be pretty competitive. BUT, in past decades, the have literally sucked. Just like the Government, Roads, and Sanitation, there was no organization for Football either. This is the primary reason for being ranked 162 in the world! Don't people get embarrassed about this? I mean what's the point of having a whole Organization dedicated to National Football when the national team is ranked right below a country like Grenada with a population of 103 thousand or Andorra with a population of 72 thousand people.
This will all hopefully change starting August 17! The AIFF (All India Football Federation) is finally taking steps to improve the game in the country. The National Team has recently toured Portugal, where they played some Club teams and surprisingly...they did NOT lose! AND..The AIFF have brought back the ONGC Nehru International Cup to the country and they will be organizing India's First Professional Football League.
