The football condition in India is pretty pathetic. The thing is that, no one pays enough attention to football in India. Everyone is after cricket. Football craze is there, but all of us just appreciate and watch European football, not bothering about Indian or Asian football.
The thing is, football isn't as commercialized in India as it is in Europe. We don't have big businessmen owning our clubs.
People will notice and participate in Indian football only if there are enough facilities, which we sadly lack. We do have some promising African players, but on the whole, Indian soccer badly needs a miracle for the sport to be truly promoted. FIFA is doing its best.
Only if India proves herself in the international stage, will people want to play league soccer in India! Also, Indian footballers must prove themselves in the international stage in order to be noticed by the big European clubs.
It is about time football conditions improved here in India.

Nobody plays football just for a job. In order to be good enough to play professionally, you'll have had to have had the passion to practice since you were a small kid.

DUDE IM FROM INDIA........AND I KNOW.........IF YOU WANNA MAKE YOUR CAREER AS A FOOTBALLER IN INDIA...........YOUR WASTING YOUR TIME.
PEOPLE FOLLOW FOOTBALL ,EVEN PLAY IT......BUT CRICKET HAS OVERSHADOWED FOOTBALL HERE.
EVEN EXCEPTIONALLY TALENTED PLAYERS LIKE "BAICHUNG BHUTIA" ..HAVE TO SETTLE FOR DOMESTIC CLUBS.
NO ONE HERE WANTS TO BE A FOOTBALLER......COZ EVEN THE WAGES ARE NEXT TO NOTHING.
HOPE THING IMPROVE......PEOPLE WANNA WWATCH ..PLAY ..BUT NOT AT INTERNATIONAL LEVELS.
