So whats happening to the U17 Fifa WCup preparations, it was a huge event for us that time which is now overshadowed by the ISL circus.
@hadfadkar post mentions AIFF looking to forming a U15 league with 28 teams!!!, while in theory the concept is great and can provide cannon fodder for the U17 team, . not really sure if this will be a 1-2 month league .
AIFF should really get going here with a proper plan, no point rushing later on just to make up a team for teh sake of a tournament
The best way to deal with this is to allocate a registered coach to each team, who'll over look that no over age player is being played. Most scams are done by these coaches, because at the end of the day those kids are kids, max to max 18 years old, they don't know what they are doing. They are naive, they don't realize how it's damaging the scene. The coaches are at fault here.
The best way to deal with these things is a lot more complex than simple. Perhaps someone like @gaffertape can say it in a simplified way but overall the whole youth system in India is very complex with many issues affecting proper youth football from taking place.
The goal for the FIFA U17 World Cup is just not to mess up badly. I don't think anyone expects much out of us... maybe to make it out of the group stage but overall as long as we don't get killed in our matches I don't care. The bar is not set high anyway currently so anything would be an improvement.
