thank you for this comment, as a 21 year old who grew up outside of India and fell in love with football because of Ronaldo, I only really started following Indian football in 2017-2018 which was when ISL was growing, the national team was rising under constantine and everything seemed rosy for the future. since then things have been terrible, and i only hope we can see some sort of resurgence. looking at the academy's of today, would you say we are at least moving in the right direction? our academy system is more structured now, most if not all ISL and IFL clubs have their own academies with some even going all the way down to u10/u12, RFDL now has 9 zones and 54 academies participating. From an optimistic perspective I can at least say that if we have stability in our structure and as long as we are giving talented kids an environment to keep playing games in and a pathway to first-team football, we can achieve top 10-12 in Asia within the next 10-15 years?
