@munna219777 Mauritius doesn't have to wait till 24th aug. Because the kind of opposition AIFF choose for the tri series. India will lift the trophy for sure. This win will surely add a new feather on SC's Hat.
The AIFF disclosed that it is in talks with various FA’s from the AFC,
CAF and CONCACAF to invite opponents of standing for the tournament.
highlighting their intent to “consistently climb” up the FIFA rankings by playing “good” opponents.
“We are quite excited on the prospect of introducing the new Champions
Cup from 2017,” said AIFF general secretary Kushal Das. “AIFF and its
partner FSDL have worked together over the last couple of months in
studying the past and current year’s National Team engagements and how
other countries are performing in Asia. The introduction of the
Champions Cup is a result of conscious efforts at our end to ensure the
National Team receives enough Training Camps, International Friendlies
as well as competitive games.”
Funny to think that this St Kitts is what they consider good opponent of standing. This shambolic 2 match tournament is named as Champions Cup and is a result of months of conscious efforts. They could not even arrange stadium in Chennai.
In 4 crore rupees, many more friendlies could have been arranged against better teams if Football was the main criteria. Tournament organised only for Inflated Budget, Spending, Bills !!!
Well it does seems like it was originally supposed to be 3 crore (1 crore per match?) but the problems in Chennai made the expenses for the tournament increase by 70 lakh.
