In what is a huge boost for women's football and women's sport in general, Rupa Devi, a resident and teacher from Dindigul, Tamil Nadu has been selected by FIFA to officiate future International football matches.

So sad ... I remember PFC was so very organized and professional when they came in. Had an European coach (I think David Hall), and brought a world-cupper from Trinidad (even though they had to release him for injury before Div II started). They had the only video analysis equipment which none of the I-league clubs used, not even the NT. Unprecedented presence in social media ... attempted sale of jerseys and other merchandise .... arranged everything in place ...
I think lack of silverware did not enthuse the fans. And of course, the limited channels for generation of finance. And a listless federation.
This puts serious question mark on the spread of football in non-footballing areas of India. I think football will remain a niche sport in the coming days even with the best of efforts put in by various parties (ISL included).
