I-League CEO Sunando Dhar was one of the many delegates to grace the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry's (FICCI) convention on the business of football in India – GOAL 2019.
One of the key points of discussion was the exponential growth of the football ecosystem in India. Speaking of the growth of football clubs, Dhar mentioned how club licensing was one of the best things to happen for Indian football.
“Best thing to happen is club licensing and it's very good. It has done wonders. It professionalized the setup, forced them to invest in grassroots and youth,” he said.
