This could be great for Indian football! It will probably be Delhi that gets the right to host but other cities such as Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai, Punjab would need world-class venues which could be beneficial to Indian football.
If the Olympics can somehow increase the rate of development in Ahmedabad then I am all for it... just hope a stadium is not built with cricket in mind after.
Ahmedabad ?? That state has never even organised a National Games or a National level tournament. What happened to that fraud StadiArena project after spending crores and crores of rupees? This shows there commitment!!! First we should let them host atleast National Games first. They got good Cricket tradition as historically they were part of Bombay Presidency-so they have Cricket culture there. Delhi got accepatble infrastructure as Commonwealth games stadia are still there. Airports, Metro trains are required which are there in cities like Delhi.
@munna219777 They would have 9 years to get this done... calm down mate. The Nehru Stadium in Delhi did not take to long to renovate so if Ahmedabad is serious I am sure something can be done.
However, this would be an important event for India so I doubt it would not be hosted by one of Delhi or Mumbai... they are the Sydney and Melbourne of India!
I also dont want Delhi to host. Bengaluru might be great place and it wil help to upgrade all the infrastructure is much need to the cosmopolitan city and all the land belongs to state govt and sport bodies so there will no trouble to invest in govt property by governament ...
Bengaluru Hockey stadium
Bengaluru football stadium
Bengaluru Kanteerava Athletics stadium and stadias around the city
Delhi had already many things now its turn for other cities of the country ..
Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata all are big metropolitan cities with experience of hosting National Games, SAF Games, Afro Asian Games plus International airport, metro trains, Stadium infrastructure which can be renovated.
