We need to take football to the places where it is played and enjoyed the most. It is time that we organize major football events in places like Imphal, Siliguri, Gangtok, Namchi, Bhilaspur, Ranchi, Bhopal, Baroda, Ahmedabad, Kolhapur, Pondicherry, Nagarcoil, Hyderabad, Kayalpattinam and such places where there is plenty of love for football. If given the right opportunities more and more boys from such areas will take to football. Most of the good players in Europe come from the hinterland but they have good facilities in their villages. We need to create such facilities as well as play some important NFL matches for lovers of the game to watch from close quarters. This home and away system between Kolkota and Fatorda appears too restricted and limited in scope. The coming NFL matches could be played throughout the country with a week of football of two rounds for each team in every Football Association that is willing to host such Football Festival Weeks in their States. That is how one can create football awareness and consciousness in the country. The local boys need to watch, discuss and imitate their stars and that is how one could think of creating fire in the belly.
