’INDIAN SOCCER HAS A BRIGHT FUTURE’




Darren Caldeira plays professional soccer with current NFL champions Mahindra United. At 19, this Andheri resident began his career with the junior team at Mahindra in 2004. A year later, the Arts student went for a camp at Valencia, where scouts spotted him and handed him a one year stint to train with the Valencia Football Club, one of the biggest in the world. Back in India now, he has broken into the senior team of Mahindra United.

If you choose to play soccer professionally in a country for which the 22-yards of a cricket pitch are a matter of life and death, then you either have to be naïve or brave. But they don’t call it a ‘beautiful game’ for nothing. The stint at Valencia gave me a clear picture of why soccer in India is still in it’s teething days.

One trip to Europe can do a lot to anyone associated with the game. Children are put into professional soccer academies at age five, where everything from strategy to diet is taught to them. As for the higher levels, the quality just gets better. To be honest, Indians are on par with players in Europe as far as talent is concerned. Joining Goa, Kerala and Kolkata is Mumbai, when the topic of gifted players arise. The area we lose out on is the infrastructure.

There are colonies that comprise of only soccer grounds to train on. The condition of pitches is excellent and the facilities are up there. What we need to do, is open academies that will have licensed coaches and good grounds to start with.

Once the infrastructure sets in, children between the age bracket of five and seven should be introduced to the game. The results of talent being tapped at grass root levels has often been seen and it’s high time that we shift gears from observers to doers.

The poignant fact remains that talent is nipped in the bud due to the extra pressure of academics. If soccer has to improve, the support has to begin from home. Just for the record, soccer is no more a poor mans game. If you perform well at the highest level, the money is there.

The dearth of full sized soccer pitches is a problem that should be tackled as soon as possible. Mumbai has just one such pitch that is obviously over-used. Mentioning Mumbai, Mahindra United, the current champions of the country are taking strides in the right direction. Their professional approach to the game is commendable. Right from having a team analyst to getting across merchandise to fans, everything about the club is professional.

Though standards in the country are anything but on par with those internationally yet things are changing for the better. Every passing year has seen an improvement in the National Football League in terms of both, organisation and quality of football on display. The crowds are also coming to watch games and fan bases are being developed.

The time is ripe for the Government and Corporate houses to step into the picture. The game could do with a lot of support from both of them if we want to be cheering India at a World Cup. Realistically speaking, it will take us another two decades before we can compete on the big stage. The climb is going to be gradual but eventual. All said and done, Indian soccer has a bright future.

Answer 8

No because at present the systems of indian sports bodies are ill.So we need to make the healthy system and keep away the politics/castisum/Statetiusm type of virus from all the sports body which works to pramote the level of sports in India.If it is happening not only soccer,with in short time we can grow all the sports whomever facilities we have in our contry.

Answer 9

it is heartbreaking to know that a country which has been hosting the world's oldest soccer tournament (durand cup) has a question mark on its future prospectives.
unless and untill we do not get the right impetus to play the beautiful game , we are not going to succeed in this game

Answer 10

unless the hypocrisy of cricket goes away from young Indian mind No other game will be successful in India
