Why Football Needs More Attention In India?

Football has been one of the brilliant sports that have many excellent benefits. It is gaining popularity all around the world. India has failed to achieve its benefits despite its potential, making the game of football underdeveloped in the country. The primary reason for this is the fact that football is not a traditional Indian sport. This has deprived it of the attention and investment it deserves. Furthermore, the lack of infrastructure and training programs has also affected the growth of football in India.

But with some little effort by the government, football can be as popular as cricket in India.”We can achieve this goal by launching national-level advertisement campaigns and organizing events across different parts of the country. There are many benefits of football. It is a great way to keep fit since the players have to run throughout the 90 minutes of the game. This makes it an attractive sport for those who want to stay active.

“Metropolitan cities in India have embraced football, but it still struggles to gain traction in smaller cities and villages. The reason is mainly because there is a lack of awareness about the game; the majority of 70% of people do not even know how the game should be played.  The Indian government should enact policies that popularize the sport. It would involve investment in infrastructure, training programs, and advertisement campaigns.

Football is a faster game and more spectator-friendly than cricket. A football match lasts 90 minutes, whereas a cricket match can last up to 6-7 hours. This makes football an attractive option for viewers looking for a quick and exciting sporting experience. The promotion of football in India will create a healthier, more active population and unlock the vast potential of the sport.
