WAKE UP AIFF! Stop enjoying the FIFA World Cup 2026 free trip. @KhelNow
The FIFA World Cup 2030 qualifiers begin in March 2027, and India is currently just one position away from dropping into Round 1.
For those unaware, Round 1 is essentially a knockout playoff between the lowest-ranked teams in Asia. Lose that tie and your World Cup campaign is over before it has even properly started.
India are currently ranked 138 in the FIFA rankings. The closest AFC nations behind them are Turkmenistan (141), Yemen (145) and Singapore (148). All three are currently in the Round 1 bracket. If any of them overtake India in the rankings over the coming months, #IndianFootball could be heading towards a nightmare scenario.
Meanwhile, the rest of Asia is already preparing for the qualifiers. Malaysia have overhauled their coaching and technical setup. Bangladesh are actively expanding their pool of diaspora players. Other nations are planning months ahead. What exactly is India's plan?

@HopelessFanASM Tell him about her efforts in creating ISL,tell him how she convinced the famous celebrities/industrialists to invest in Indian Football.Still her RYFC is doing great in grassroots football and more effective than AIFF.They are conducting a youth league which AIFF couldn't conduc
@Dickgrays0n194 MBSG fans live in their own delulu world.. look at his comments, he's more concerned about winning trophies rather than developing players.
It is not my team, it is our country. If you feel you need an incentive to support your national team, then I honestly don't know what to say.
Going by that logic, countries like Bangladesh should have no support either. Yet their fans proudly back the national team despite being ranked 181 because they love both their country and football. The same can be said for Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Tajikistan and many others across Asia.
Do you think every lower-league club in Europe plays great football? Of course not. Their fans still turn up because they love the game and feel a connection to their city and club.
Support is not always about success. Sometimes it is simply about belonging.
Ain't this beautiful? We finally have a Youth League for women. It's only a 10-day league, but it's a start & an important one.
Indian football for long lacked a youth league for women's & the only talent pool was from Interstate championship Hope it expands to multiple months.

Why is Mahesh Gawli still India U-20 coach?
Because finding a coach willing to have zero say in squad selection, training methods, playing style, or merit-based decisions isn't easy.
Thankfully, the market is heating up. More candidates are reportedly informing the AIFF that they too possess this unique qualification.
Until then, the incumbent ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ retains his place. ๐

There is no point in blaming anyone for the state of football in India.
The blame should be all on @IndianFootball and its members. They just had plan on papers not on ground.
The presidents did not bother about football but their own gain.
