13 Haziran 2026Al Jazeera

As the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaches, India's challenges in football are brought to light by 101 East. The country, despite having a massive population and a growing interest in the sport, continues to struggle in international competitions.
Factors such as infrastructure, grassroots development, and historical neglect of football contribute to its ongoing difficulties in competing at higher levels.
Football is the world's most popular sport, yet India, with its vast population and potential talent pool, has not made significant strides on the international stage. The upcoming World Cup serves as a backdrop to examine the reasons behind this paradox and the potential pathways for improvement.
India's struggle in football can be attributed to a combination of systemic issues and cultural factors. While cricket has dominated the sports landscape, football has not received the same level of investment or attention.
