Hope it doesn't turn out like association with Germany football..
Highlights of this article: 1. Four Nation Youth Tournament 2. Possibility of Indian teams in Croatian League 3. Training & exposure for Indian coaches & goalkeepers 4. International Youth Tournaments for Private clubs & AIFF accredited academies..
1) 4 nation youth touranament is just like what aiff goes and play in COTIF and GRANTIN cups... Not much of an impact
2) If the Indian U22 team plays in this league under Stimac or his assistant coach there when Stimac is with Sr team from next year, then there could be some use... They can come and play the AFC u23 championship qualifiers in the year 2021 and try to qualify for afc u23 championship.. The league runs from August to May and will be very competitive for the Indian U23 team.. They already have 14 teams....
These U22 along with upcoming U20s, U21 can be used for the next World Cup qualifiers in 4 years time, with experience of playing in Croatian 2nd tier.... Once we qualify for the World Cup (which is still a dream and nearly impossible), the sponsors, stakes will be very high and will take Ind football to a new level...Then we wont need the support of Croatian FA and we will be able to sustain independently...
3) Training of Indian Coaches & Goalkeepers is good...
4) International Youth Tournaments for Private clubs & AIFF accredited academies - is fine,,, Will be for some short duration.... Not much impact ...
Croatian FA led by Davor Suker is amongst the most corrupt FAs in world football, doubt anything fruitfull is going to come out of this apart from some cash being exchanged under the table and some PR stuff.
