Asian Football Confederation president Mohamed Bin Hammam has called on club owners in India to help speed up the process of professionalising the game in the country.
Bin Hammam praised India for qualifying to take part in the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2011 finals draw, but added that there is still work to be done to improve club football.
"I would be failing in my duty if I don’t point out that both Indian and Asian fans had to wait for 26 long years for this moment,” he said. “India last played in the Asian Cup in 1984.
“I as well as millions of Indians want to see India playing in each and every Asian Cup after this. However, this can be guaranteed only when there is a solid and professional base of club football in the country.
“AFC and Fifa want to listen to you as you are the owners and presidents of Indian clubs. We urge you to share your ideas for professionalising football in India.”
