India Govt should try to create/renovate at list 1 FIFA standard stadium in very state/union Territory, NT matches should be hosted in very state and UT, except for maybe UT/state without an international airport as that is one of of FIFA criteria.
NT matches should be played only in cities where people actually care about the sport, have a club at the national level. Only in Kolkata, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Goa, etc.
I guess stadium issues. Their main stadium-Pamir is booked by Afghanistan national team. Other AFC recognised stadium is in Khujand - 20 years of independence stadium. Dubai is fine but why not India ?? why are they not willing to play in india ??
India’s World Cup 2022 qualifier against Qatar in Bhubaneswar on March 26 could be postponed to later this year because of the coronavirus outbreak. FIFA and AFC to jointly take a decision, possibly in the next 48 hours
