@dev_pfc ; Sports infrastructure is poor in states like Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, UP, Bihar as they never hosted National Games. In near future, National Games is going to be organised in Uttarakhand. Then we will see a quality Football Stadium in Dehradun.
@munna219777, now that the stadium is cricket one, why not Jaipur. I mean, it may be more cosmopolitan city i guess. Rajasthan royals in IPL showed the crowd support.
Neroca FC had their 2nd Pre Season practice match today against a team comprising of IsL players like Jackichand Singh, Thoi singh, Salam Ranjan Singh among others.
@indian_gooner ; That Jaipur stadium Sawai Mansingh is under long term lease by Rajasthan Cricket Association and as you know Cricket people do not share their stadiums for other sports. Neither any Football club or any Football association own any proper stadium. Many good grounds have been taken over for Polo or by Military which is off-limits for Football. There are only 3 cities with airport Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur. Rule out Udaipur. Cities like Kota, Ajmer, Bikaner got stadiums but do not have Airport. So only Jodhpur and Jaipur can host I-league. Jaipur hardly has any Football stadium -makeshift ground from some club or school is not good enough. Jodhpur is the most probable venue..
@athi_bheekaran Kerala is a very developed state in sports as compared to Rajasthan. No comparison at all.Kerala got beautiful cricket stadium at Wayanad for Ranji Trophy. They need JLN once in a while for one day match and now they have trivandrum greenfield also for cricket. Jaipur SMS stadium is used for everything including Ranji Trophy. Cant see any football happening there. Powerful politicians running Rajasthan Football like manvendra Singh is from west rajasthan, can see him inclined towards jodhpur. Another guy sachin pilot whose wife is in AIFF is from Dausa, a small town. They have a club which played in Delhi I think. Lets see. I am not confident that there will be any club from Rajasthan. Let Gujarat, uttarakhand start i-league clubs. They are better places.
Jamshedpur FC has own stadium, academy and teams from under 10. They even have spare stadium for practice for the team. Right now the team will use the TFA ground for practice but by next year they have promised to create/renovate a world class practice facility for the ISL team. Most probably Keenan will be upgraded or Armoury ground will have new grass laid.
