The Indian Football Story | The World Is Yours To Take | Chapter 1

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ย. 2022
- Many stories have been told about the glory years of the Indian national football team. But none of them are as famous, or as untrue, as the 1950 World Cup story. Why didn't the Indian team play at the 1950 World Cup? Was it because they played barefoot football, or was it something else? Together with Budweiser India, we're telling the story of the World Cup match that didn't happen.

Dr. T Ao from Nagaland was the lad who captained the Indian team in the Olympics. His famous quote, "we play football,not boot ball". He was offered a contract from Arsenal FC however due to his medical studies he had to reject the offer.

As an indian 🇮🇳Feeling really sad for the decline of Football & Hockey in my country.
Let's bring back the glorious days. 🔥
Hockey is not in decline thanks to Odisha!!
India should only stick to cricket. Anything else is total waste.
@@pietrojenkins6901 Just like your existence!!
@@pietrojenkins6901 And how do you know about it. Just look at current Indian team, complete waste, the richest cricket club in the world and still not be win any trophies in the last 10 years. In contrast, hockey has improved a lot and also football with only quarter of resources what BCCI generates. Which means even with less resources, players from football and hockey are perfoming far better than, than rich brats of indian cricket team.
India is bronze winner in last Olympics
I started following Indian football from 2006, comparing to that time yes Indian Football is definitely improving but the world football is improving with much more speed. Our players are not bad they just did not receive the proper training and coaching, there are 100s of indian origin players playing around the world just because they got the coaching right.
@Mr. ENERGY ytf the other countries insist for dual citizenship,? Fckin colonial mindset it is, they did that to Suarez too ... I don't think India should give in to such coercion
That's not the point. In other countries football is taken up as career. Much like engineering and medicine. You'd have to enroll your children into a football academy at an age as young as 5 years old. Which Indian parent would willingly agree to that? It's virtually unthinkable
@@ashokseshadri8331 Rodri for example completed his Business degree recently. It's not football at the cost of education.
Overwhelmed to watch my favourite news channel cover this story!
Proudly from the state of Dr. T Ao(First Captain of the Indian Olympic football team) 💜Nagaland
Congratulations 👏 good luck
He's a Mohun Bagan legend
bro be careful of pakistani vice president of vice propaganda
Hope India will qualify for WC within next 10 years. Really want India to compete with the best⚽️
Itni aukat nhi hai
Indian football when managed by Syed Abdul Rahim was the best Indian team ever. Won Asian Games gold, went to semis twice in 3 consecutive years. Defeated Hungary who defeated Brazil in the 1954 World Cup quarter final. India was the best footballing nation in Asia...but look at now... Football got overshadowed by cricket and lack of awareness and infrastructure

In North East India, actually football is much more cherished than the usual cricket. The tribal people there are absolutely amazing players.
But problem is totally North East population is not even equal to single district of up... Hindi states like up bihar delhi rajasthan mp Maharashtra is 70% of india where there is not even single isl team...
The government and private sector should pour money into Indian states where people love football, to build infrastructure, provide coaches, jobs for football players, create multiple levels of tournaments starting from primary school etc.
I am a Pakistani, and I want India to qualify for the world cup, this might make Pakistan take football seriously and I hope it will also qualify then.
Yeah Right ...not only pakistan , Bangladesh,nepal and srilanka too......its hurt bro our countries have the highest no. Of population...and we can't qualify

India in the Asia cup 23 let’s support them there
In Indian state Rajasthan in their city (jodhpur) community football tournament are being arranged 👌 since 1935 with records in the community have records and picture as evidence which is till in place
The tournament known as " Keshav Narsingh khandagrh "...
Cool bro.. Nice to hear about football fans from Rajasthan.. Where can I read more about this.. ?Couldn't find anything on Google.
@@viveksubodh2641 there is community issued book regarding history of their tournament issued in 2016 I guss , I have it, I might upto it onto a blog latter on tag u in it ....
My friend is a football fanatic and he's someone whom I admire and because of that I started to have an interest in football too. Where I live(North East, India) football is more popular than any other sports here and I hope it will be popular in all over India too
The first India captain in their maiden international tour was Gostha Pal, organised under the control of Indian Football Association (Bengal) before the formation of All India Football Federation in 1937. The first captain to lead India in their first AIFF organised international tour was Karuna Bhattacharya, kolkata who captained India in their first international match, against Australia on 3 September 1938.
Even now, if there are no politics and discrimination in this sport in India. India will fly high for sure. North east players can lead india to international level but only if the central authority would give recognition.
truely said, the south and the northeast part of india have talented youngsters.
If there was such talent in our country, then European clubs would have made a beeline for it like they do in Africa. Get real guys.
@@rutvikrs They aren't interested in scouting here and signing players from a young age. Our facilities and coaching staff aren't even 1/10th near that of Europe, so you cannot expect Indian players to play at a similar quality. What's worse is, until the quality of players increases --> increasing quality of the league --> further increasing the quality of players is not possible. It all begins with Indian teams + the government pushing the sport more.
Now I feel proud that even for nothing, I played football tournament in my journey school and after losing in semifinals, it was a great moments for us. And in my area many colleges, schools, government are giving their best in bringing football back to India and if you guess which state is doing it than it is west Bengal. People are crazy for football in Bengal and again football tournament is going to start in many parts of West Bengal.
Football was huge back then. Almost all of the youth used to play football back then. There are many interesting stories that my father and my uncle told us. Of them one goes like this : The chief of the banned ULFA, Mr. Paresh Baruah was a tremendous goalkeeper. He used to play for the Indian Railways. During one game, while playing for the Railway at Katihar, Bihar, he saved an almost impossible goal but he hit the goal post in the process fractured ome of his shoulder. He was rushed to the hospital. The locals were so impressed by his performance that the hospital was soon packed with locals who came to cheer for him and wish him luck seeing his performance at the game. It was during these trips that he saw how the government neglected the state of assam as compared to the other sates despite being rich in resources like oil and coal. This very difference made him and his likes to demand an independent Assam.
The issue is these stories are not told at all. It does bring awareness towards the sport. And inspiration for people to take up the sport. But no stories are told.
I have also heard those stories of Indian Football. Shyam Thapa and all.
But Now Seriously guys This story has to be heard by every Indian, and to be felt by every Indian Hearts ♥️.
Now common Our Indian Government and Corporates, please support this Football game. 🙏
Sad part is no one even made movie about this. Lagaan story first happened in football
No use of looking at the past. unless indian football authorities is not blinded by money, indian football cannot grow.
Bro that's so true here in mexico pure fraud and corruption here to hope india be free by corruption as well as mexico since mexico will held the next world cup

This is actually quite informative and helps me makes sense of something that always puzzled me (why more South African Indians love football than cricket). I'm a South African Indian, descended from the Indentured Labourers who came to South Africa in 1860. We Indians in S.A. are actually more passionate about football than cricket (most of us anyways). So it makes sense that at around the time my ancestors left India, football was bigger than cricket and that love for football continued down the generations. It's also widely played amongst Indians here, a lot more than cricket is.
Indians always preferred hockey and football. Issue was cricket achieved wc glory especially during times when cricket achievements could be televised. While football achievements were more but never televised. And after that we went on a decline after 60s which led to popularity diminish. And cricket fever took over after 83 win.
We don't have the PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES to excel at the highest levels
Neither HEIGHT STAMINA or STRENGTH
We do possess SKILLS in abundance
India playing FIFA ia an emotion.... I wish to feel it before I die 😭😭😭😭😭
Gr8 video about Indian football. Carefully released during the World Cup 2022. Making us Indians realize what Could Have Been. We're taking baby steps towards this and more EFFORTS need to be seen from the Top Down. Just my opinion.
We are taking baby steps since last 20 years.
It is my greatest sporting dream to see India play the World Cup. Hope before I die I see this happen.
Thank you so much for covering this. Such informative football history we all need to know. Also, excited to see my favorite football historian here talking about football. :)
We Indians have the ability to play in the world cup....what is required is a sort of a revolution in the footballing world of India
We need to support ISL for Indian football future .
Joy Mohun Bagan ⚽⚽⚽
Football in India has always been popular, some may typecast it as a regional sport coz of it's huge popularity in the North eastern states, West Bengal, Goa and Kerala, and some may point the poor state of the AIFF and not so modern football infrastructure. However my friends, we were world beaters in Hockey, the world knew our identity as the Kings of Hockey and we could beat any team in the world and once a legend Late Major Dyan chand bought the mighty Hitler's jaw drop with his skillful play. And then there are people who compare a game Cricket with an emotion i.e. "FOOTBALL". Cricket is an english game, a team game but not an active team game, a game which was made popular by the elite English when they were ruling our country, an unfortunately that game is still ruling out country, but the next generation is more fascinated by Football and I'm sure, the rise of Indian football will happen soon, as we are now a regular participants of the AFC Asian Cup, and we've been dominating in South Asia region, surely good times are not far for Indian Football fans. And us hosting the next year's Hockey world cup, by god winning that would certainly change a lot of things in Indian Sporting culture. Felllas, its high time now, the world has truly become global, and to be the part of the global sporting culture we need to perform in global sporting events.
It's amazing that you guys are sharing such niche and forgotten stories of the past which I am sure most indians of this gen won't know about
If you are passionate about football you will know
Moral of the story : Never miss an opportunity
I'm tired of cricket it boring now I'm in love with football it's been almost my routine for ISL
So many indian fans but football still sux
same
thank you so much team vice for covering Indian football!!
Amazing! Lovely short documentary
I dont really understand ki cricket jaise overrated aur boring sport ko itni hawa kyu dete hai 1.5 billion ki population hokar vi fifa ranking me 106th pe hai humlog
I understand that for indians cricket is more than a game but its definately not the optimum sport its boring and not evenly fair i hope we Indians seriously adopt a footballing culture like the rest of the world humko fifa wc me hamari team ko dekhna hai
Exactly man it's actually because cricket meh 83 wc achievement hogyi jab india acha nhi kar rhi thi as a country. Plus yeh television pe aaya. Usse logo ko laga ki sirf cricket hi hai jo desh ko upar le ja rha. Jabki football hockey yeh cheez already kar chuke the. But voh television pe nhi aaye the. Aur jab television aaya tab hamara hockey football meh decline hogya. Phir 90s meh desh economically khul gya sachin sir ka craze hogya aur vaha se cricket immortal hogya india meh.
Jo abhi bhi obsession hai voh ussi 83 wc ki yaad meh hai ki ji cricket ne hi india ko upar laya hai. Jo ki real truth nhi hai.
FOOTBALLING CULTURE won't survive for long in India without VICTORIES
In India only VICTORIES MATTER

India has realistic chance of qualifying in 2030 if we continually make progress and invest in grassroots..
2026 world cup los Angeles will have 48 teams . So 8.5 spots for Asia.
Optimistic target for india for 2026 is to
Play in round 3 fifa 2026 qualifiers and rub shoulders with big teams of Asia.
And with that experience we can seriously prepare for 2030 ..
But looking at current setup and situation
I think football fans in India will be happy to beat teams like Bangladesh ,Nepal , srilanka and Afghanistan regularly .
Yeah if u watch the games u will realise that we even struggle against these teams sometimes 🤡
I feel it'll be late 2030s or early 2040s. 2030 is soon

@@JorgeClavero "Just playing for goals" means they don't have any tactics, strategies and skills. They just wish to score a goal !!!!!. It's like randomly waving bat, without looking at field setting, against 150kmpl ball in cricket.
@@JorgeClavero you are wrong football has evolved a lot. You need to have good strategies to win the game. You can't just say defend and score that won't win you stuff. Also playing a certain way matters especially to gather more fans. If you play pretty and entertain people then only more and more people will join. No one will want to watch a boring style of football when they have platforms like Netflix to watch. There's a reason the style of Brazil samba style of football is still famous and known for in the whole world.
@@JorgeClavero I don't think you are into football at all. If you were you would know that style of football also matters especially to attract more people.
@@JorgeClavero I think you just got his point wrong. The main comment wasn't about to score a goal or defend it, it was about the current squad of India which has no specific football style to play with. They just go on the pitch to win somehow, but are absolutely clueless about the game. As if they are out of their minds.
But just to let people know that you know about football, or you have been playing at a certain level, just to prove yourself more knowledgeable, doesn't make sense. You don't have to brag about yourself, or the kind of football you play.
Even us Indians can do that, even in football, about which the Westerners and the Europeans think that we don't know anything about.
Do you know that the system of 4-4-2 was actually invented in India. Or the only team in the world which won against Hungary of 1950s (the mighty Hungarians) was India.?
We will probably qualify after 16 years i.e. 2038 when our present day grass root level academy players graduate to senior team.Though we can qualify earlier if we get Fifa WC hosting right.
Our u17 world cup batch players are good enough to send us to 2026 world cup, 48 teams, we have a shot

25 june 1983 was black for indian football (you can say overall indian sports). Because that day indian cricket team won Worldcup by beating the ruler of cricket of that time, West indies. And then cricket craze took over india.
And if you're thinking indian team won because they're best, then no, they won because of Luck. Because after the WC, west indides came for india tour and smashed indian team. And proved that india won by luck.
Exactly mate. People always talk about 83 win but never talk that it was a miracle. And miracle don't happen again. Even today namibia cannot beat eng and win a wc.
By that LOGIC We would SMASH ENGLAND/AUSTRALIA or anyone in BILATERAL SERIES
so they are also winning against India by LUCK during WC's
Stop Piping CRAP
Baichung Bhutia losing to some Kalyan Chaubey for the post of the President of All India Football Federation speaks Volumes about why Indian Sports is Doomed. Kalyan Chaubey won thanks to his Influence in a Political Party.
Just Imagine, how much Mr. Baichung Bhutia would've been able to contribute to Indian Football as the President of AIFF.
I understand the need of Politics in promoting Sports & Arts, but when passionate people like Mr Bhutia are sidelined, you clearly understand that things are Fishy & are not going to end well.
Look at Indian Hockey Team for Instance. People had lost Interest in Hockey but thanks to Odisha Govt sponsorships, it has Blossomed! They went on to win Bronze at the Olympics after Decades. Likewise, the Women's Team went up to Semi Finals.
Former Captain Mr Dilip Tirkey, an Expert Defender of his Time is the President of Hockey India.
Indian Football is doomed if Dirty Politics keeps on bringing people like Kalyan Chaubey into the Sports Federation.

amazing documentary . indias football future looks bright with the growing isl viewership competing with ipl
Those glorious days of past are history, back then football was not that popular as it is today. Out of all the field sports that mankind has produced so far football is the one which is most popular now and the number of countries that are trying their best to even qualify for fifa wc is just staggering and ever growing. Even country like China who has dominated in specific sports at Olympics could not produce world class football team that can compete in fifa wc, that's how hard it is now.
But china has played in a FIFA World Cup, in 2002.
@@anonymousishere2905 football is not senior citizens sport like cricket, once upon a time Uruguay used to dominate fifa wc, where are they now? italy has won fifa wc 4 times in history the most recent one being from 2006 yet they failed to qualify this year. It's all about being consistent in the ever growing competition amongst hundreds of emerging countries. India can only dream of qualifying for fifa wc, but being consistent is totally different thing. That senior citizen sport is so popular in India yet we su ck at it when it comes to wc, even though barely less than a dozen countries across the globe take that thing seriously !!!!
playing barefoot is wide spread here in Brazil as well, Ronaldinho for example used to play barefoot in his youth. It's legit since creating variations in practice helps the brain to learn skills faster.
Hope we can see India in the WC soon.
High necessities of this game made it unplayable in India but due to that......... there was gentlemen's game being played in every corner of the country.

India always had a craze for Football. It was always a game that people considered as a way to get back to the colonizers and it started of pretty well. But 70s onwards entire footballing culture went downhill. The craze remained but government apathy destroyed Indian football.
We still have a long way to go i think we have lost our track and on the other hand many other countries have caught up with the time and pace of new age football. I feel that we can qualify for the WC in the next 30 years, now when FIFA has decided to increase the number of teams & growing infrastructure + interest. But other countries have also planned way ahead looking at how Japan, morocco, Croatia and other low ranked teams performed against giants this also makes our dream of playing football a distant one. But I hope for the best.
Thanks for the valuable information
It didn't have much views. It's just show where our priorities are in sports.

Finally some coverage
The sun will shine again
Sad to see that there is no mention of goa and it's famous footballers like bruno coutinho, shankwalkar etc
So Sad - Largest democracy in the world is not playing Biggest sport in the world.
We once had a school football tournament with a school from Nagaland. They play next lvl in the northeast states. That loosing and embarrassment for us feels good that we have so much pf extraordinary talent but unfortunately its all fucked up
Vice be like Fifa world Cup chal raha hai... Documentary release karo....
PAISA HI PAISA HOGA!!!!!
XI Jingping in China has made a long term football development plan which focuses on :
Within 2050:
(i) China already too play in some world cups
(ii) China to have hoisted atleast a world cup.
(iii) China to win atleast 1 WC.
Similarly our Indian government should make it's own plannings. We can earn many times more fame in he Sports World by being a superpower in Football rather than in cricket (which is barely watched outside Indian subcontinent).
And only 1 domestic league should be there like UK has EPL, China has Chinese super league.
And of course grassroot developments in infrastructure, faculty, facilities, sports medicine, talent pool and all others needed should be invested upon.
XI JINPENG can't do shit
His GOOSE itself is cooked
Loved this one, thanks vice
Sob khelar shera bangalir tumi football ♥️
"can't wait to see my country play the World cup"
If you look into the roots of indian football we can see the old brazil
I believe India will rise and shine again; stronger and better than ever.
yes but need a big struggle.. its not about qualifying world cup.. need to go till semi finals should be our concern, because if we think of semi finals then only we can qualify for world cup. western football now went 25 years ahead..
Ek din jarur🇮🇳
