In the not so distant past we were used to watching some top class football teams from the Army, Navy Air Force and other Para-Military Institutions. Teams from Bikaner, Meerut, Dehra Dun, Jalandhar, Hyderabad, Bambolim, Ahmednagar, Ramgarh, Tezpur, Baroda, Mumbai, Belgaum, Wellington and such other centres of excellence displayed some robust and disciplined football throughout the country. Our defence units could revitalise these teams and participate in the improvement of the game of football in the country.
