Maybe MANU decided to decrease the budget for the Indian leg since they are here to promote themselves and secondly they understood that in India there is no proper youth structre so this tournaments budget can be spent in the final leg where they may get their next Park Ji Sung...........

WIFA could have hosted the qualification but I think the news came in too early for WIFA too hold a qualification(sarcasm intended).... After all its WIFA we are talking about its indias most pro state association

Everyone want ileague to have a pan india presence since ileague being the most important tournament in india. but we are complainnig about the procedure that PIFA was selected not about 1 team per state rule.

It is not about the rule of one club per state which i am angry but the way that one club is selected....<div>of course no one want a club to represent the state on the basis of lucky draw...it sound like india got qualified to WC in place of S.Korea via lucky draw selection...</div><div><br></div><div>There should a deserving chance for every team  and this was not the case over here</div>

Exactly. If they lowered it to 1-team per state then fine but have qualifiers. PIFA is not the best U15 team Maharashtra has to offer.

Exactly. They should have had qualifiers to select that one it. All of this was done in a haste and now looks unfair
