India has never ever played in the football World Cup though it had an invitation to
the 1950 edition. Currently ranked at 97 by the Fédération Internationale de Football
Association, the global footballing body, India has, however, not always been poor in
football. Till the 1960s, it was a major footballing power in Asia before it started to
decline. In order to improve its standing in football, India must invest in grassroots
programmes and infrastructure.
