New Delhi: Why India with a population of 139 crore is not participating in the football world cup is the concern of every Indian football lover. Especially for Malaysians who love football. That is why VK Sreekanthan MP asked this question to the Centre. Will India play the soccer world cup? VK Sreekanthan MP asked. Sports Minister Anurag Thakur responded that the Indian Football Association is fully responsible for the Indian team’s eligibility for the FIFA World Cup. The Minister said the Ministry was providing all support and financial assistance to the Football Association through the National Football Association Programme.
However, the minister did not respond to the MP’s question why the financial assistance provided by the Indian Football Association, which is said to provide all the support, has been reduced from 30 crores to 5 crores.
At the same time, India’s announcement that it will not host the 2027 Asian Football Cup angered fans, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that after the FIFA World Cup, a festival like Qatar will be held in India once . After this, the silence of the centre-right is the question that every football fan would have liked to ask. However, FIFA has announced that 48 countries will participate in the next World Cup. VK Sreekandan posed the question to every common football fan whether players from India, which has the second largest population in the world, will play at the World Cup at least in the next few years.
