"In the next 5 years, all the I-league clubs should have FIFA approved stadiums. If any club does not fulfill that, they will most certainly leave. We do not have good infrastructure like in cricket to attract the viewers. If you see IPL matches, the viewership is excellent because of the comfortable experience in the stadiums for the fans. We want to do that," - Prafool Patel.
He didnt say that clubs should own FIFA approved stadiums. He meant clubs should play in FIFA approved stadium. like Pune FC get a lease of Government controlled Balewadi Stadium and Balewadi should be FIFA approved.<br>IPL plays in govt. built Eden Gardens and then claim tax exemption saying that it was cultural event. <br>
Stadium like Tilak Maidan is approved for I-league.but for AFC cup, churchill brothers had to go to Pune Balewadi Stadium as it is AFC approved.FIFA approved stadiums will be required for U-17 world cup.<br><br>We organised India-UAE world cup qualifier at Ambedkar Stadium, Delhi but I doubt that it is FIFA approved.<br>
Look at the stadiums the UAE are planning to host U17 World Cup games at and tell me what a FIFA approved stadium is.

Does the fuc*er even know that none of those IPL stadiums are made by IPL Teams , all of the stadiums are property of local boards?
