Introduction
Every four years, football fans across India gather around television screens to witness the FIFA World Cup. They cheer for Argentina, Brazil, Germany, France and Portugal.But many fans cannot help asking one painful question: Why is India not there? After all, India has over 1.4 billion people.
Japan has around 125 million.
South Korea has roughly 52 million.
Morocco has close to 38 million.
Combined, these three nations have a population far smaller than India. Yet all three have qualified repeatedly for the FIFA World Cup and produced internationally respected footballers. What explains this enormous difference? The answer lies not in population, genetics or luck. It lies in planning, systems and vision.
