Can India ever Qualify for Fifa world cup?

More than 6 months being passed while discussing on this to pique but no any improvement is seen in  this football play.Recently we have been disqualify. Only Indian magician can do such wonder.

The statement of yours is not about the subject in discussion but on some other game. This reminds me the tactics of the political party called now as BJP.

I have no doubt that India will qualify to play in FIFA world cup some time but it is difficult to predict when. Today India's rank in football is 134.

What I personally feel that there are no dearth of talent in India but one should catch them young say at the age of maximum 10 years and they should play and play off course besides studying. On completion of their studies they should play for 18 hours a day for at least 5 years then I feel India will be playing football like cricket today.

In order to accheive this  one needs sponsor and in today's India if Government tries i.e their sport bodies there will be a lot of sponsor will be available. 

So according to me India will be able to qualify to play may be in 2022 or 2026.

I agree with baalu. Where there is will there is way. By selecting passionate players, coach, giving required eninities and support, we can build a team.

The will to make a good team by authorities can yeild results.

WHERE THE WILL IS THERE THE WAY IS.

india can qualify for fifa world cup if the co-ordination among the players are strong and should be able to attract more sponsers and should have a good coach as well as a good manager

India can qualify but provided that we improve the standards for this game in our Country. For my Friends who mentioned that there is less craze about football in India then I would suggest them to go to North Eastern India, Southern India and States like West Bengal, here football is more in demand compared to Cricket. Every football player who is playing for his country has first played for a Club to prove their potential. In India we don't have Clubs which can stand at the standards of International Clubs. I do not know how many Clubs are run by Government at International Level, if I am not wrong it is all Corporates with large investments who run this clubs. So, no need of talking politics over here. We need Corporates to support this game in India which can provide a better Infrastructure, Manager, Coach, Support Staff for the development of players. Once the standard of our Clubs in the country are improved, I do not see any hurdle to: our players making to Big International Clubs and India qualifying for the FIFA World Cup.

if we are able to rid politics from sports,then india has a 60% chance of qualifying for next world cup,and 90% chance to qualify for 2018 world cup

Hi, Disha,

yes I agree with you we can make it to world cup provided we put in place a good team under the guidance of good coach, financially supported by the govt. & sponsorship by  corporate sectors.

We don't have dearth of talents, required to nurture & constant training of the team we can definitely achieve our goal & attract sport lovers & sponsors to popularise the game at domestic level as well.

After all. as someone has quoted that"FOOTBALL TEACHES THE WAY OF LIFE. IT IS NOT IMPORTANT TO HIT HARD OR SLOW. IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN CONTROL AND KNOW YOUR GOAL".

I think they can and I don't agree with Deepak here, and whatever names he has mentioned have done a good job for India, and few of them have played for International clubs and chettri is playing for a major club in US, and Baichung just missed by a whisker playing for a top English club, but I think India have the talent but the support staff like top coach and then getting more people into football than cricket is more important, I think Football is a far better game than cricket I don't know why Football is not picking up in India, but there should be some right strategy behind Indian football. Surely in 2 world cups time India should be able to qualify for it....May be in 2018 or 2022 India should be able to crack it guys......

Yes india can win the matche, if he fully played  by team spirt  and say win win win  this can change the  team theme and definetly he can win the same, Indian football  shoule be our national sport. Yes indian can enter in the FIFA

thanks

Nothing is impossible mate we indians have a talent in every  aspects of life , just need a back up and moral support..

cheers

Yes India will qualify it will take some time but our team will surely qualify.Always hope 4 the best.

India can even win it before 20014 A.D.

With the help of media and Govt we can able to qualify for FIFA.

For those who are not so optimistic please go through the following article

India may not have qualified for this summer’s World Cup in South Africa, but they still managed to claim some hardware last week. India defeated Tanzania 1-0 to win the first ever Street Children World Cup, a tournament committed to spreading awareness about the problems facing street children all around the world.

The nine-team tournament (India, Tanzania, South Africa, UK, Vietnam, Brazil, Nicaragua, Ukraine, Philippines) consisted of players aged 14-16 that have lived on the streets at one point or another in their lives. The tournament was a great chance for different cultures to come together in celebration of soccer, but also served as a global forum for the children to share their experiences and bring attention to their problems. By coming together in Durban, children living on the streets finally had a voice. As the tournament went on, it began gaining attention from icons in the soccer world, including David Beckham.

With stories circulating about South Africa’s forced relocation of the homeless populations of World Cup cities, this tournament came at a perfect time for homeless children to have their voice heard. The event was organized by Umthombo, an organizati on run by former South African street children, with the support of the Durban University of Technology. Plans are in the works for this tournament to be staged in Brazil before the start of the 2014 World Cup.

Nothing is impossible. India may one day host the FIFA World Cup if they work towards achieving that dream. For those who think that it would never happen, rethink again. Ten(10) years ago we here in the West Indies/Caribbean(I am from Guyana which is in South America but we are closely affiliated with the Caribbean) never dream that we would host World Cup cricket and it came on us so sudden that we could not believe it was happening.

I for one had said it would never happen in a million years.

Thanks for the referral Ms Disha

I personally think that all big things are achieved by dreaming small. We Indians have shown the world that we are not lagging behind in anything. Be it in the field of Sports, Entertainment, Business or anything else. All it needs is determination. Agreed that Cricket is the most loved game in India, but with proper boost to football it can be given new dimensions. There are schools which are promoting this sport and youngsters are actively taking part in this. Government should take initiative to popularize this sport, so that the people come for it more in numbers.

Yes,definitely one day.young generation is taking interest and working hard to show up at world level. I am hope full soon you will see India playing at this level

i support Disha and pray her desires of  India  competing in FIFA organised football world cup are fulfilled.

yes -2 sure esp if u r talking about infinite time using ever, but certainly it is not going to happen in our life time aur ek din population barte-2 itni to ho hi jayegi ki har desh ki taraf se indian hi khelenge.
