Im happy about that. I hope this may be a new era in Indian football where if we do well and get far in the qualifiers that maybe we can get a good sponsor for the national team and that they don't have to slap their logo on the kit. Do what Panasonic did and just put the sponsorship on the training kits and whatever.
The further we get in the qualifiers the better for us, in ranking and many more, especially when it would attract sponsorship(s). For now one will do.
@ArsenalFan700 ; @Pondicherry I think that while playing any FIFA event like World Cup Qualifiers or any AFC game, FIFA rules stipulate that we cannot display the logo of Team Sponsor in the front of the shirt. This is done to protect the interests of the sponsors of the tournament. However, In Friendly games, a Team can display the logo of their Sponsor.
