A record 112 teams, including 16 international ones, will be competing in the diamond jubilee edition of the Subroto Cup football tournament, its organisers declared on Wednesday.
The tournament will be held in the Capital from August 20 and stretch till September 19. The knock out games will be played at the Ambedkar Stadium while the round robin games will be played at other grounds across Delhi & the National Capital Region.
The teams will be fighting to win the sub-junior boys (U-14), junior (U-17) boys & girls categories. The tournament is organised by the Indian Air Force and is supported by the ministry of youth affairs and sports, ministry of human resource development and the Sports Authority of India
I think india football team needs a B team like cricket.
Where stimac can test many young players without taking risk in main team
I dont know about the rules. If its happens it would be great. B team should get some exposure tours, Unofficial friendly match against navy teams, i league teams, isl teams/reserves, 2nd division team
The idea of a 'B' team is not bad. I had myself advocated it earlier on this forum. But ultimately its about the funds and clubs' inability to release players for unofficial matches to be played by an unofficial national team ( or B team). And lets face it, when the AIFF do not have funds to organise a couple of friendlies for the NT before the WCQ starts then how will they organise and fund the various exposure trips and friendly matches of B team!!
