It\u2019s very rare that such a course is held exclusively for Instructors of a specific country.

And for good referees, you need good instructors. The basic concept of this course stays to increase the Technical and Physical know how of the Instructors. They need to catch up with World standards.<\/p>\n<p><b>Where do you have to say about the participants in comparison to the World Standards?<\/b><br \/>All the participants were selected by the AIFF from different states. They are competent individuals. My assessment stays their knowledge needs to be polished a bit to help them understand the latest developments in the game which would uplift them to the World standards.<\/p>\n<p><b>Keeping in mind India\u2019s potential, what is FIFA\u2019s future plan as far as India is concerned?<\/b><br \/>India stays one of the few countries in the sub-continent to have a Professional League.
