Indian Football Teams Missing in Action: Time We Look Beyond Asian Games​

Interviewed by Leslie Xavier

While the FIFA World Cup rages on in Russia, Indian football finds itself in another mire. The teams' (men and women) exclusion from the Asian Games contingent by the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has provoked debate and criticism across the country over the last week.
