Shillong planning to get 1000 Cr funding to build football infra. I hope they get this right. This level of funding if done is insane.
Even national team games in Meghalaya was a livewire. This Durand cup seeing the crowds was heartening. Jamshedpur and Kolkata did not see much crowds.
15 Cr spent on upgrading GMC stadium in Hyderabad to meet FIFA standards for installing bucket seats. We are not spending peanuts. I do question the decision to host games in Hyderabad. This is not even a football specific stadium.
We could have helped out I-League clubs renovating ambedkar which already has bucket seats and fans would enjoy that experience after re doing the pitch. Or even stretch the 4 th stand for Mumbai City FC and could have helped them maybe extend few more seats and help them generate more revenue. We should be upgrading our football specific stadiums with fans in our mind. AIFF doesn't seem to care or have a plan. They just keep spending and spending.
Etihad Airways joins Mumbai City FC as the Official Front of Shirt Sponsor in a landmark multi-year partnership starting from the 2024-25 season, Etihad Airways will pay 14 Cr per season for next 3 years.

Stadium was renovated by Telangana Govt(current CM who fortunately happens to be football player himself) I don't think AIFF or FSDL spent anything. Most of the stadiums are under control of local Govt and it's upto them to develop or renovate
Football specific stadiums within city limits will be dream considering land costs. Unless big corporations step up, I can never see Govt spending tax payers money on football specific facilities.
