when will we see india at a World Cup?🤔
I don't think we'll see a lot sonce the last wc they qualified for they refused to wear boots 💀 😭 🙏
@@Abdalmohaiminhelp fr 😭
No
Well today is Thursday...so, never
When you heal from your knee injury and suit up for the club
India has no grass roots. When I was a kid playing football (the 2010s), I had NO IDEA how to get into Association football, or even play in a local league.
Same... tried to research through internet but what would a 12yr old me would have known
😂I was a good striker
I scored 12 goals in my backyard
Same happened with me, I was so damn hardworking on football as a kid when I look back but I had a coach who just built my stamina, nothing else. He was our coach in school nd idk how my school selected him as coach.
But still I remember, we had seriously talented kids coz we used to play 5-8 hours daily including running n all.
But in whole year we used to get 1 chance playing for selection by 20 mins in a match of district level I guess, nd opponents used to have 16,17 years old boy playing in under 14…
@@gurpreetwaraich8818Bro is Bigil accurate? I mean the federation’s system. If you represent the national team then your family gets so many perks
Niran would’ve won India a trophy if it wasn’t for his earth-shattering, mind-bending, cataclysmic, world-destroying, apocalyptic knee injury
innit
It's real you know😂😅
How long until this joke dies?
he still would. ask him to come here
The joke would have died if it wasnt for the catastrophic knee injury @@fildafernandes4366
The Indian team doesn't even half the best 11 footballers from the country. There are some insane talents who don't even get to sniff a national team trial due to lack of infrastructure.
What does lack of infrastructure have to do with that? If they go through the system and are really that talented then they will make it in an ISL/I-League club and then the national team.
@@PuroSubsthere is no proper system here😅
@@Lightrei There is a system. Clubs have tryouts. If you want to be a footballer, try out for one of the Indian clubs.
The problem is India is huge. To make it through the system itself is a challenge... We don't have a proper scouting system in India currently. Plus the fact that Corruption prevails in the country does not help the grassroot development projects at all. So many talented players are already destroyed. That's the main issue. @@PuroSubs
@@PuroSubs The problem is that those tryouts are coordinated by a lackluster coaching team. So yeah, doesn't really work.
Money is also a problem. Iniesta was offered to a top club in India- Mohun Bagan at 80 crores in his wages. Their response to his agent was that their club is valued at 80 crores 😅
There are plenty of countries who aren't able to spend a lot and are way better than India at football.
Yeah, but they also dont use money to give their players actual decent wages, that should be better than a normal job for example@@PuroSubs
Mohun Bagan isn't valued at 80Cr. Definitely higher. But yeah, still shit.
Couldn’t you have put in brackets what 80 crores is??!
@@AJayZy You just have to search on google dude. It's about 900K € and 1M $. Although I'd say they're worth around 5M $ which is still shite.
San Marino vs India friendly would be absolute scenes man
Someone tell Chaubey to book it,
India would lose
Nah we are better than that
@@debarghyahazra7086 San Marino would annihilate India by 15+goals😂
@@aa6eheia156Stop talking shit
Indian here - our Golden Era (1951 to 1962) was actually phenomenal, at one point having the best defender in Asia (Jarnail Singh), with a coach called Syed Abdul Rahim who had the team playing beautiful football and being called "The Brazil of Asia"
When Rahim passed due to cancer less than a year after our 1962 Asian Games triumph, former player Fortunato Franco said "With him he took Indian Football to the grave", which just rings true because since then we've never got to those lofty levels of success
There's actually a Bollywood movie coming out about this golden era called "Maidaan" which has been postponed numerous times already but should be coming out this April, and I'm hoping that movie helps push interest higher
Ain't reading all dat
@@BigDeyumtook your time to comment tho 🤷♂️
@@BigDeyumyour name suggests you cant run but cmon ! u cant even read now?
@@BigDeyumworth it though
Actually really interesting reading about the Indian football history. As an Indian who lives in Norway, I have never gotten to know about India in football. And thank you for the mentioning the movie! Will definitaly whatch it when it comes out!
Mentality is the biggest thing. Being a footballer is not a viable career option for our parents no matter how much potential you showed.
You're talking as if our parents appreciate playing cricket as a career option.😂
LoL ..Non a viable career option?? In North Eastern states , football is only viable career options ..if you remove Top 8 Aisan countries, the amount of money an ISL player is getting is more than player from league like Vietanam or Jordanian League(Asia cup finalist). So bascially we are paying salary in crores to player having skillset equivalent to Nepali or Bangladeshi players. Now, vis-a-vas salary , footballers are second most well paid after cricketers in India. Moreover , you must remember that money in Badminton, Hockey is much less than fooball in India , but we are producing world class players in this sports. Thes difference is coaching !!!
It depends on football infrastructure. There is better grass root infrastructure in cricket than football. To develop football in india it needs to develop it from the ground up.
@@Xinnie_The_FluNot even as a Career, parents are more supporting if you want to play cricket.
I had to struggle to ask my parents football boots.
On the other hand, they got me a cricket bat without me asking.
First of all, India doesn't have any national sport just like language.
2nd, unofficially Hockey and Kabaddi considered as national sports amongst laymen.
3rd, Indian footballers couldn't play at Europe because India ranking isn't above 70.
4th, yes_ Chetri is the greatest Indian footballer ever but he's not the only star player of India. B Bhutia, P.K Banerjee, Chunni Goswami etc. are the best footballers in history.
Btw, I agree with you _ better coaches in I League 2 and in I league and also in ISL will increase the players level. Youth infrastructure should develop a lot at least of big clubs of ISL like Mohanbagan, East Bengal, Mohamadan, Goa, Kerala and North East.
In general, India doesn't understand any sports, not even cricket. Indians are just celebrates couple of individuals as a fan. India is a third world country so earning money is very very important thing so Cricket still be a profession in India but others cannot. Other sports doesn't have money because big companies for advertisements are with Cricket only and media only covered cricket because cricket is the only sport which have TRP. Indians doesn't feel interested towards other games coz they don't watch it on Television and as I already wrote _ neither they understand other sporting games.
Media and marketing should improve for football's growth in India alongside better coaching and development facilities at youth stages.
Because they all wanna become cricket players 🏏
😂
unfortunately we never seem to win anything in that as well nowadays. supporting the India cricket team is like supporting spurs
All the skill points went to cricket
India can’t win cricket either
We are like arsenal in cricket we improve but still bottle
I was wondering if your ever going to revive your old F1 channel given its surge in popularity in recent years. As a fan of both sports, I know I would watch both of these channels if both had regular uploads. I can remember your old Renault career from like 7 years ago, and it was what got me into formula 1 in the first place. Thanks.

If India played football the same amount as they played cricket, they would be up there with the best national teams in the world. But they don’t do that, and even if you don’t play cricket in India, it is usually something like badminton before football
The best in the world is pushing it.
@@mrflyingturtle9447 same amount as cricket means above anything else
Doubt the competition in football is like a million times more than cricket which is dominated by a mere handful of countries.
Most english people aren't even aware of their cricket team captain but instantly identify a football youngster from a mid table club.
@@mrflyingturtle9447deff not,ydk Just how much cricket these guys play.
@@sammybosak10that's true. Certainly no sport compares to football ⚽ in terms of competition as it's really the only sport that the entire world plays at pro level.
But Cricket is competitive and becoming more so. Especially in T20 which now includes a Lot more countries. And Cricket 🏏 is the fastest growing sport in many parts of the world (such as Germany and Brazil).
coming from a really football crazy state, Kerala...
as you pointed out the coaching quality is really poor and their selection process as a whole is appalling.. they dont check on your fundamentals most of the time (bias) ..and as many pointed out...this Indian side isn't the best of the country. skilled players are either left out or conservative parents really don't take the risk which is fair considering the level Indian football rn.
The irony is cricket isn't the national sport as you said.. its hockey.. and although they do fairly well nobody plays hockey like cricket.... its hard for another collective sport to come up considering how crafty and corrupt indian systems are
Brother do you mind elaborating on “crafty”?
I’m from kerala to
It's mainly corruption. In my state, we recently had a inter district competition and the amount which was sanctioned was 24 crores and when the actual event happened the atheletes were made to stay in rooms and the food were 3rd class and after the tournament it was estimated that the state government spent 4-5 crores on the event while the remaining money is gone somewhere nobody knows
I guess they are getting better. I'm a Sri Lankan and we all used to get a draw against India. I'm telling you those days it used to be a rivalry 😂 now it's worse. For now, them being in the Asian Cup is a huge achievement. Since my country's FA is banned, I have no hope for Sri Lankan Football coz the best player in our country is currently working a Data entry job 😢.
that's so sad, hopefully we all South Asians will rise in football someday
Lack of development for football in as a whole throughout SAFF really hurts because it means very little incentive for competitions. Competitions pushes the envelope not just for one team or country but a whole region, looked at he AFF they sent 4 countries to the Asian cup because the competitions amongst them is fierce driving development and thus incentives for further competitions.
@@mananghildiyal2675why though? Why just football? Do you see Latin Americans and Europeans (bar England) wishing to rise in cricket? Then why should we give special attention to this sport because europe plays it? I'd be happy if we could just beat australia in cricket, forget about football. All sports in india need improvement, but while our culture is only doctor engineer lawyer, that won't happen.
@@anweshchatterjee7595 coz football is the best sport
Bcoz nobody is following cricket, and the huge population of India Pakistan Bangladesh this game has huge viewers in world cup& most of the country doesn't know what is cricket no offence to cricket but football is the biggest sport don't compare football with cricket @@anweshchatterjee7595
Even our national team coach says most current players for the national team lack the fundamental basics of football that you’re supposed to learn at the age of around 10.
Shambolic govt support and total lack of culture for sports overall (except for cricket) has led to this. On top this there's rampant corruption at every governing body at every level. Even recently the coach criticized the board for football for their performance in the AFC cup and he was simply told to shut up. It's so sad to see the wasted potential here.
government support comes with wins and trophies.
@@reny62it should be the other way around
Then what abt the poor African countries does their govt invest so much on sports...wht abt palestine do they spent more on infrastructure and dvlpmnt of sports... yours are just excuses...when 5-10 exceptional talents comes govt will have the motivation to support them and youngsters will get motivated to pursue a carrier in football...we are lacking that mentality
@@dilkushm8008 Yeah definitely... its a combined effect of all the factors.. not any one particular reason can be blamed.
The spark was there and is still there. Football is growing very slowly (our league is only 10 years old). We will rise slowly but surely. Thanks for this vid Niran. You've brought valid points and good info up that maybe the world never knew. Appreciate it ❤️
Jordan made it to the final congrats as an indian fan hope they win it
i too want jordan to win cz qatar just won the last one
Pretry good and accurate vid bro
I have seen a lot of youngsters with massive talent who without any training and coaching play very good technical ,skillful and simple football leave the game because they didnt get any chance or they give into parental and society pressure and choose different path . India has a lot of talented players here but they did not get any proper guidance or push . But i believe the future is bright more development can be seen in our grassroot area and a lot of promising youngsters are coming up
I think maybe in like within this decade india will have a turn to the better side
I really hope we do❤
I feel like people talking about cricket are ignoring the fact that the United States and Canada national teams have been improving drastically. Even with soccer (football) only being the 5th most popular team sport in the U.S. and Canada. So I feel like being good at cricket and good at soccer shouldn’t be mutually exclusive.
To be fair, the US and Canada are both extremely wealthy nations with strong sporting cultures who can throw money at anything and everything
@@te1327India is also it's not a poor country anymore
@@muhammedgamer1896 Its more complex than that
Cricket is only played by NRIs in western countries even the audiences are Indian Americans also😅
@@gukoi yeah the US is gonna host its first ICC tournament this summer but we have MLB, the Olympics, and Copa America so those three overshadow that. Hopefully Team USA goes as far as they can.
Money , passion , Technical know how and Support system . These are all one of many reasons. Thanks Niran for pointing out the Obvious reasons , we india are improving but still need the support to even have a chance to even compete. We are a Cricket mad people's nation and I'm not saying we shouldn't but we also need to branch out THE GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME . Chess , kabbadi , Weight lifting , Miss world /universe , Hockey are also slowly growing . 💪. Come on India 🇮🇳 👏 ❤.
Never thought Niran would make a video like this. I’ve always thought why doesn’t India have some good footballers with that big of a population. Being IndoFijian we have so many talented local footballers but no one ever makes it to the big stage. Rugby for Fiji and Cricket for India seem to be the only dominating sports in their countries. I’d love to see some opportunities and players make it to the Prem in the future for the game I love.
roy krishna? i know he’s like the only fijian player that’s ever actually been good but he’s played at decent levels for a bit of his career, one being the ISL and the A league
@FNG 8:38 attendance record for any sport in India is 130000 in 1997. Kolkata Derby
I actually liked this video. Good work Niran. Do videos like this from time to time. Looked like you did good research for this video
3:13 all those Basmati Rice jokes and bro still forgot to mention that🤦♂️
kudos to you for highlighting this and you were spot on on the points you mentioned.. sad to see a football loving nation not produce a genuine talent barring one
My friend trialed for Hyderabad FC. Niran kinda hits the right points, he revealed the selection process is very poor. The coaches select footballers based on penalties sometimes just to reject a few players. The players and coaches are severely underfunded at the grassroots levels. TV sponsors are few and far between even for international matches. Hope a change is coming soon.
Thank you for bringing the attention of the world towards the condition of Indian football. I hope it will help Indian clubs and country to take necessary steps to bring us back to the glory days.
Loved the vid bro! Thanks for bringing this to light 🙂. love from India ❤
Another point to add to your list is that, even though there are countries in Africa or South America lacking infrastructure, funding, and plagued by corruption, many talented players emerge. The main reason is that the sport of choice for these nations, whether rich or poor, is football. In India, however, it's cricket, and people often underestimate its depth. It has reached a point in India where selecting the playing 11 has become challenging due to the abundance of talent, both domestically and internationally. India dominates the youth cricket World Cup, having won it five times. Just yesterday, they qualified for their fifth consecutive U19 World Cup final. Simply put, a young kid from the poorest neighborhood aspires to be a cricketer more than anything else, and it wouldn't be surprising if he doesn't even consider football as an option or worse doesn't know what it is. But still after India should be better of then this just for the sheer size of its population
There’s an Indian movie called Maidaan coming out this April, which is about the glory days of Indian football
Loved the video niran! But get the map in the first frame right please...
Thanks for covering this topic! This is something we Indians have always wondered as well!
Nice video bro, keep it up!❤ you’re funny,informative and quick❤ gained a sub❤
man you were spot on about problems in indian football!!! i wish something changed here!!!
The problem with India is the size of the pie. The amount of money dedicated to funding things like facilities, coaching, fields, equipment, is just gobbled up by sports like Cricket, Tennis, Hockey, Track and Field. These sports also gobble up all the athletic prospects as scouting talent in India's footballing realm is garbage. If this were to turn around, we don't just need heroes, we need artificial inflation of the incentive for football. There has to be a money dump for a decade into the sport that rivals the likes of the "big" sports in the country. Get international coaches, scouts, have them provide guidance on facilities and scouting methodology. It'll happen, but it will take time.
bro govt. don't give money to cricket also tennis also done by player own pocket govt. mostly focusing on now that is athletics
@@animekagyaan2403I didn't say the government gives them money, I'm saying that the resources are gobbled up by popular sports that kids with talent want to go to. Market forces determine that. If you want to combat it, you have to create artificial supply of resources, and more importantly incentivize football.
@@FLASK904 It's not others sports fault that football is incompetent to expand in rural area and now their is Kho Kho league and Kabaddi league also volleyball league getting popular so it's making more hard to penetrate that areas..
@@FLASK904it's not the others sports problem
Even our hockey team don't gets sponsor
odisha is helping them
They still win bronze in Olympics
India football team lossing to war torn Syria
And expecting us to watch Indian football
If only for sake nationalism I have to support I would rather watch specially abled people
Football team want support to play well
But they don't understand
When you play well you get support
Hockey and cricket for eg.
Hockey popularity declines because they can't win as they used to in 60s and 50s
Sunil Chettri did have stints with Sporting Lisbon & Kansas City Wizards
I also wonder if there is a cultural influence too - as well as young people just gravitating to better paying or more stable academic careers theres also a strong societal/familial expectation for what career young people persue (hence the medicine/computing/engineering stereotype)
Just shouting out our other legends Baichung Bhutia, I.F Vijayan, etc. We will succeed but another problem that we face is the new generation is less into in person sports and more into e-sports. The support for the game is present but it needs to be thousand fold more if we ever need a chance of starting to see progress.
IM Vijayan ✅
IF Vijayan ❌
Tends to be a big problem in South East Asia. We have a player (loaned out at the moment) called Otis Khan who is a massive deal to Pakistan and their football team...we're struggling in League 2.
wish you spoke about Baichung a bit more :( but overall great video!
The national sport is actually field hockey :) India has a great history with field hockey at the Olympics as well
It's a common misconception but officially we do not have a national sport, all those gk teachers and textbooks in school lied to us :)
There is no national sport
we need more vids like this. class
Because of curroption. I have played football for my city and state but the thing is it isn't all "talent" most people pay to get into teams. A lot of people pay money to get into teams replacing actual talent who deserve to play
Lazy argument
@@rounakvarma3399 it's actually true lmao, India is really corrupted sad to say as an Indian myself
Corruption yes. But that doesn't involves "paying to get into the team" which is just bs. Its mainly involves not giving proper funds of infra or grassroots development
@@joeadarsh no bro it's mainly cultural. I promise you if Kapil Dev didn't somehow win in 1983 against all odds..nobody would care about cricket this much outside of like the big metros.
Indians need a messiah nobody will methodically build up grassroots culture here
@@rounakvarma3399 India already had Bhutia and Chhetri, if that didn't do anything, nothing will.
As an indian , this man summed it up perfectly , didn't miss out on anything, insane...👌
Feeling the new outro music! 🔥
India is diverse country. Not every state has football heritage. Kerala, goa west benkal and north east states are genetically good with foot.but there is special program in root level to find the best in these parts. Our recruitment is not up to the mark. And indian football association is a n outdted one with no game knowledge. We are not putting our best 11 players in field right now.. there r still working somewhere. So many ignorent people is rulling game. Inida has potential forget about the current results. We need a recruitment system which understands india. And a coach which supports our playing style.
4:35 😂 that’s why i love Nieran so much
I won't get over this 😂😂😭
I have talked to many of my friends, colleagues , kids , elders about watching a football game and all replied same , "watching football is boring , nothing happens unless there is goal scored and watching for 90 minutes straight waiting for goal to be scored is tiring and boring, while cricket is good there is something happening every ball".
Crux of the story is we don't understand football at all. Even if we follow European football clubs(to be cool), we watch highlights only . I mean most of us .
So new generation is not playing football (with correct technique) because there is no old generation to teach them how to.
While every common Indian citizen can become a descent cricket coach for American and european school kids even if he has not played a single game in his entire life.
Really breaks my heart what currently going for indian football
Making a worldcup (2026 hopefully) might change the perspective of our people as well as the government.
th-cam.com/video/DFxASK_azYU/w-d-xo.html
They definitely won't make the world cup
yea bro not gonna happen, I'll doubt it'll happen in my lifetime tbf

India's highest recorded attendance in football is not the 68,000 as mentioned but it is 136,000 which was recorded during the Kolkata Derby between East Bengal and Mohun Bagan in 1997 Federation Cup Semi Final.
Kolkata Derby regularly records an average attendance of over 70k and has a century old rivalry between the two clubs from Kolkata.
3:24 Although Cricket is the most popular sport in India, the national sport is actually Hockey.
Bro as an indian you read. The football in our country we do need to work on this😢
We will reach the World Cup one day in our lifetime just have faith and hope the country just gets better
The problem is the league structure as well. The leagues just don’t cover much of the country
If it weren't for our discombobulating knee injury, i wouldve been playing alongside niran at liverpool by now
Im an Indian . 5years ago India was ahead of Jordan in Fifa Ranking and now they've reached the Asia cup final were We've been grouped in the tournament.
Simple reason: Over dependence on cricket 🏏 and still not successful......
The downfall of india football team was way before the rise of indian cricket
Every upload you make is exceptional! Mad respect for your dedication Keep creating awesome content, you're phenomenal
Honestly if they invested more in Kerala and goa for a separate league. They would be making serious bank. The 7s tournaments and leagues are already crazyyy there. They often fill the stadiums in ISL for Kerala blasters games
3:23 - the national sport is hockey I'm pretty sure and India dominated in that as well until they switched to turf pitches and India's facilities couldn't keep up
Great video Niran
Fr bro i need to know 😂
Interest isn't a problem nowadays, it's just the lack of competence in the management.
the main problem not only for sports in india but across many sectors is the failure and ignorance of the government.
Ignorance is one thing. It can be fixed. You know what can’t? Corruption and nepotism.
India need to find a way of sending their best youth players out of the country. I know this wouldn’t go down well at all in India, but with a country like India that doesn’t think about football like a serious thing, they will never flourish in such an ignored system. They need to get them to a country that will actually give them good coaching and give them a chance to make it as a football player. The nearest options would be Australia or New Zealand, a country with quite good youth coaching and a constant nation in big tournaments.
I might actually look into seeing if this would be possible, because it could be a very big thing for countries that have a similar look or setup as India. Because it could result in a massive academy just filled with great youth players from all sorts of countries. And have massive sponsors with players like Sunil Chhetri as well as developing coaches from these countries along with countries from established clubs with fantastic youth development - RB Salzburg, Dortmund, Brighton.
Is this going to be a new outro? I like it
Football doesn't run in India's veins , besides that india is not focused on youth development at grassroot level simply.
L
And the fact that their best player Sunil Chetri is Nepali😂😂 son of Nepali father who joined Indian Gorkha regiment and mother who played football for Nepal National Women team
The main problem is the absolutely piss poor coaching infrastructure in the country. The coaches should not even be near a school team, let alone manage big clubs.
Its kinda cool seeing Niran create such videos, talking about why bigger nations (population-wise) have horrible football structures. As one of your many 3rd world country subscribers...THANKS FOR THESE KINDA CLIPS...!!!
My home town Madhyamgarm, In the state of West bengal alone had top class potentials. But lack of career guidance and support defeated them. Now football is just their hobby. I think this isn't the case in most of the countries. People actually doesn't care until and unless you achieve something. Actually cricket gained popularity this way.
We have talents.. but no proper management and also politics here😢😢😢
There's also Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, he played in Europa League. Only Indian to achieve that.
Though it doesn't mean anything significant, just wanted to point it out.
Made it to top 5
Chettri was actually signed by QPR and even did his medical but due to immigration issues he was not allowed to join
India don't have youth league ( u13 , u17 , u20)
India Don't play international friendly matches
India don't have priper stadiums and infrastructure
Open field are for housing/factory instead of stadium
would love to see india vs san marino
10:52 How didn’t you recognise the Fijian beast Roy Krishna? 🇫🇯🐐
I was thinking this a while back but about Rugby, it seemed to me that the cricketing nations also seemed to be Rugby nations instead of Football ones eg New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. It's like both India and the West Indies should be Rugby powerhouses.
It's the politics of the Indian government, as they only focus on cricket, they don't invest in other sports and don't treat other athletes as cricketers. It's high time for the Indian government to invest and look after other sports too(most importantly football).
Cricket doesn't recived any government funding check your facts before commenting
Bad genes, bad infrastructure, corruption in sports in India, Less money and lack of sporting culture in general.
Yes their bones are too weak and skinny, pindians ☕️☕️☕️😂😂😂
As always with sports in India, problem is administrative incompetence and zero government support. Also, for everyone talking about cricket, we only like cricket because it’s the only sport we’ve won anything at.
bro we won Thomas cup in 2022 in badminton and people do watch others sports as well in terms of Tv viewership ISL come 5th after IPL,PKL,UKKL,PVL and i still remember in 2014 and 2015 season PKL and IPL has neck to neck in terms of views and also reason is football fan if someone say about football he get term as ramesh from Ghaziabad don't have ball Knowledge...
@@animekagyaan2403ask anyone in india about "Thomas cup victory of India"(which only 6 countries have won in badminton) and they will surely ask you "who is Thomas? And what about his cup?" that is the condition of other sports, which have achieved something, in our country. None of our media covered this achievement of their . It's simple I guess bcci has a lot money they lobby media houses so that viewership for cricket doesn't go anywhere and they keep getting rich.
@@vinay249kabbadi is also popular in india go and check
They also support hockey
And every country has their one popular game
Like for America it is absketbaal
As an indian football fan, it pains me that we are where we are in world football, because I've seen growing up the number of people around me interesting in casually watching and playing football. After cricket, football is definitely the most popular sport, with millions of football fans, who unfortunately like me end up supporting clubs in Europe, because of disillusionment with the national team and clubs.
We have the people, but there's no structure in place to bring about any success, be that grassroots, coaching or the naturalisation of players similar to Ukraine with Brazilians, etc.
Poor coaching and players unable to move abroad to learn is unfortunate, and requires a widespread cultural shift in our mindset and government backing.
What bothers me, is that the government doesn't put in any efforts to try to get foreign players of Indian descent into our national team set-up. India doesn't have dual citizenship, meaning players would have to give up their countries' passport to come play for India, so they have no incentive to do that as players. If the government really cared for football, this would be a surefire way to instantly boost the level of the team, but frankly we're not bothered.
Also Nirin could've become the Indian national team hero had it not been for his debilitating mind-boggling earth-shattering knee surgery :')
the thing is we have really good youth talents but the government is not investing enough money
Jai Hind, Niran paaji.
Why did you show that map of India, there is no pok there is only India
No. That's the international map
2023 was a great year for INDIAN FOOTBALL, we won trophies & defeated Kuwait, Lebanon & Kyrgz which brought a slight excitement in atmosphere but our biggest moment would be defeating IRAQ (they won in Penalties but everyone went fuming as IRAQ was sort of gifted that last penalty to equalize with us
One simple reason: The Kapil Dev effect is needed.
Remember in 1983 when BCCI lacked financial and infrastructural prowess than they currently have now. Inspite of that, we were able to win that and start a huge wave of following, leading to investment too.
India [in Football], if they actually played in the FIFA World Cup they qualified for [1950], things would have been different today.
500 million Europeans and not one Kabaddi player!🤯
1.4 billion Indians and no rugby players!!!
1.4 billion people with no baseball players
1.4 billion indians and not a single world class mma/boxing athlete.
Being not good at European sports is the starting point because india is not in europe . From there India has become great at cricket . Btw foitball qorld cup will always be won by a european country or a european colonial offshoot in south america
india mentioned 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
I am an Indian who in his teen years was very serious about football. During those days I have seen very talented players not getting recognition and opportunities because of nepotism and corruption. I’m not saying India has secretly produced world class talents but a lot of promising players never got the opportunity to shine.
some are insult us and our football because we are Indian..and some like you actually tell the problem of our football..lack of infrastructure is main problem..every facilities goes to Cricket..thanks man and forgive me for my bad English.
Ignore the hate, it's always gonna be there. Everyone wants to find a cause to feel exclusive and racism makes them feel superior. It really shows how they aren't good at aspects of life which matter and don't get validation there and hence find validation in the name of the nation they were born in
African countries doesn't have any facilities still they are producing gems of football
Cricket gives more money
That's why
Every country has one popular game
Like in America it's basketball
China table tennis
Bro lossing to war torn Syria
😢💔👍🏻
Its not like we have a decent squad. If provided with the adequate resources we can easily reach atleast the semis of asian cup.The isl is not providing players with enough matches for players to grow plus it is owned by a private organisation FSDL which to be honest are more powerful than AIFF and controls when isl will be played. The national team doesn't get enough camp time requested by the manager for example igor stimac asked for atleast 4 weeks of camp before the asian cup but he got only 2 weeks. Why? We were too busy playing isl. Yes the players are need to take the blame too but they can't do anything if the federation isn't supporting them.
Can we just take a second to appreciate that Climax Lawrence played for the India national team 😂😂😂
Niran India's national sport is Hockey 🏑 mate.. being an Indian thank you for making a video on our football scenario. ❤ Much love
thats thing that really anonys me as a coach in uk even kids from indian households like myself dont really get the sort of encoragement to take this stuff on caus our parents always push us towards academics
I thought I learned recently that the national sport in India is actually hockey? Is it cricket as i originally thought?
Brother, India doesn’t have a national sport. Both cricket and hockey are de facto considered national sports due to the success and popularity.
