Indian Football Team and it's steady rise to glory


India has emerged as a new Asian football powerhouse. The sport has seen a marked increase

in popularity and success, from winning reputable tournaments to qualifying for major events.

This article explores the key aspects that have led to this elevation, which include exceptional

performances, a growing fan base, and development initiatives.


In 2023, the Indian national football team achieved an impressive feat by winning the

Intercontinental Cup. Another significant milestone for Indian football was the team’s

qualification for the AFC Asian Cup in 2024. These achievements enabled them to display their

skills against the top teams in Asia, marking a new era in Indian football. It is a statement of how

far they have come as a team, leaving room for growth and success.

Head coach Igor Stimac has guided the Indian football team toward a more tactical approach.

This has seen the team’s performance improving and a sense of cohesion on the field through

Stimac’s desire to retain possession and instill discipline in his defense. His strategic insights

and commitment to player development have contributed to the growth of the team and its

future success.


These achievements and improvements have also brought about an increase in the number of

Indian football followers who are passionate about supporting their national team. The

increasing turnouts in matches and active participation in social media platforms show that the

game is becoming popular among many people. Indian football’s unbroken fan support propels

players to pursue their best and take it up a notch.

Indian football looks forward to performing well at this year’s AFC Asian Cup. This team has an

air of hope based on recent achievements by the players and staff who did not give up. The

Asian Cup allows India to demonstrate how far they have come against some of the best

squadrons across Asia. The FIFA World Cup slot no longer seems like a far-fetched concept but

is naturally expected. The recent 0-3 defeat against Qatar may have deflated some of the

confidence, but for this Indian team, there’s more to come and a world to conquer.
