He assured that the Ministry of Sports will put more attention to better training, coaching, facilities and other requirements. “We’ll always be there.

Mr Rijiju concluded by quoting, “Football is the biggest game in terms of popularity, reach, size. We also have to put a lot of effort to improve our football. Be it a village or a city, football is a game which can be played anywhere. I’m very hopeful that the standard of Indian Football will rise in the years to come.”

As claimed all over the world, football in India is the “Sleeping Giant” which is starting to rise!
