    To reach top ten in Asia will take time: Chhetri
  • In a candid discussion, Indian football superstar Sunil Chhetri shared his views on the nation's place among Asian football powerhouses.

    The veteran striker feels that the Indian team has made progress in the past decade.

    He credited both grassroot development and talent scouting as the reasons behind this rise.

    However, Chhetri feels Indian team still remains far behind compared to other Asian countries.

  • When it comes to locking horns with the biggies of Asia, the Blue Tigers are lagging behind at the moment.

    India are currently ranked 103 in the Men's FIFA Rankings, whereas, sides like Qatar (62), Saudi Arabia (68), China (71), Japan (33) and South Korea (37) are well ahead.

    India will need to develop the standards at grassroot level to close in.

  • "Not only the grassroots but also the overall development of Indian football has been good. The hard part is reaching top 10 in Asia is still far. No matter how fast we improve, the improvement seems small as compared to other Asian powers," said Chhetri.

  • Chhetri also highlighted the reasons that have seen India lag behind despite the promise.

    "We are not good enough in identifying talent, infrastructure, making sure that young players get nourished food etc. We are not there yet. We are far better than we were in the last 10 years but the road is still very far. We have to keep working hard," he added.

  • The Blue Tigers face a tough start to their 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers campaign.

    Qatar are the heavyweights in this group and are destined to take first place.

    If India have to qualify for the next round, then they need to stay ahead of Oman and finish second.
