      There are so many Indians who watch different leagues worldwide. For instance, millions of Indians watch the English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, and the Euro Cup. The reasons range from plain enthusiasm to getting profit from every round - like sports betting and crypto-related activities. If you also want to do it, you can check out Prime Gambling Reviews to see the quality of every site you come across. When you think about it, there are time zones that these enthusiasts adjust to, to watch every round until the finals. But many Indians also have a great inclination to play the sport. For soccer news tips and updates, you can visit Soccer Reports. Goa is an Indian state considered to comprise the highest number of football fans. They even have a Christiano Ronaldo statue! However, they take their enthusiasm more locally, supporting the country’s own Indian football league through patronising and promoting it throughout the country. But the challenge is hard. India’s teenagers who happen to consume football frequently prefer and follow football clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool, Barcelona, and so on. The future for India’s football clubs are looking bleak - but is it too early to admit a losing proposition? In this article, we will tackle how exactly Indian football clubs earn money, and how support from their people make an impact on how they fare in the sport. Running a football club in India It’s never easy to run a football club in India. In fact, investments consistently outperform the returns, which drive investors away from investing in India’s football clubs. You might think that the Indian Soccer League adds a lot of revenue to build more spaces to the country’s sport, but that’s not the case. Top Indian football clubs, as well as any I-League or ISL club, do not make a profit at any time throughout the calendar year. Many clubs have closed or drastically reduced their activities over the last ten years. The club's patron Churchill Alemao, who also happens to be the current President of the Goa Football Association, weathered every storm that tried to destroy the club. Over the past three decades of spearheading opportunities for the club, he mentions how hard it is to not stay stagnant when there are no opportunities given to the team. However, he still remembers the ultimate goal for Goa FC - to have India play in the FIFA World Cup. He ensured that football never died, despite the fact that the club has spent crores of rupees on running it. Unfortunately, various clubs across the country have established and closed owing to a variety of factors. Administrative and financial concerns at the highest levels are blamed for the majority of the reasons. For one, hese clubs vary from the very top of Indian football to the very bottom, and they are well-known in every Indian district. There is a dearth of information at the lower levels in terms of running a football club and sustaining it in order to achieve higher levels. Academies across the country might use the same approach. The economics of Indian football clubs Most Indian football clubs spend 60 to 75 percent of its budget on the team, 15 percent on youth development like academies, and the 10 percent for broadcast initiatives. It’s already a blessing if the team gets sponsors. The most frequent sponsors of ISL India are Coca-Cola, Nivea, and Musli Power, which adds a lot of revenue for the clubs. There’s also revenue garnered from ticket and merchandise sales. However, these only give a share to clubs, since there are also other stakeholders (i.e. investors, venue holders) who also gain from the overall revenue. Promotional activities and However, revenue from ticket sales, merchandise sales and other promotional activities contribute in minuscule proportion to the clubs’ coffers. Even prize money of all the domestic tournaments in India, if combined together, cannot compensate for the huge amount spent by these clubs. But the harsh reality is that I-League clubs receive no compensation from TV presence. Unlike in all other major worldwide leagues, where revenue gained from broadcast arrangements is divided with the clubs, television revenue goes directly to the All India Football Federation (AIFF) and is second only to sponsorship in terms of income for a club. In fact, the majority of I-league clubs rely on significant sponsors to keep their teams afloat during the season. Conclusion In conclusion, the money from the central pool, which amounts to roughly Rs. 13 crore per person, is practically offset by the annual franchise fee, which ranges from Rs. 12 crore to Rs 16 crore per person, depending on their base. In the lack of television revenue, ISL teams rely on sponsorship, ticket sales, retail sales, and prize money to supplement their income, which does not cover the high costs of running the club.

Project Restart: Premier League is back but is the excitement?

    The English Premier League. The name bears its prestige and presence in global football. One of the richest and most followed league in the world, with millions of fans, regular viewers and stadium crazy spectators rooting for their favourite sides for ten months of top tier football action using online betting PA.

    However, 2020 has made a mark in the history of the esteemed football league, as the novel Coronavirus pandemic caused a halt of more than three months, the longest suspension it had faced since the Second World War. Now with the reduction of the COVID-19 crisis in the United Kingdom, Premier League is finally back, with the resumption of the 2019-20 season, which has been termed as ‘Project Restart’. The question is, is the excitement back?

    The resumption of football in such troubling times is undoubtedly a huge achievement for the English football system. For a country’s population that lives and breathes the beautiful game, restart of all major football activities is undoubtedly bringing in a ray of hope and exhilaration, as Chief Executive Richard Masters has corresponded. Not just the fans, but the footballers are finally able to return to training, and to don the jerseys and be back in the job they are the best in.

    “I’m feeling very excited,” Masters was quoted via PL’s official website last week. “It is the culmination of a lot of hard work, a lot of consultation with clubs, with players, with managers, with other organisations and particularly with government.”

    Fans are undoubtedly delighted on the return of football, as the remaining nine match days have started from 17th May. Seeing your favourite stars in their natural habitat after months of monotony is a fresh breeze of air. But is the return of PL surrounded by all joy and elation? Because there are some fundamental changes to the familiar sport.

    First of all, forget about going to stadiums. While the UK government has given a green light to resume all sporting activities in the country with the ease of lock down, the threat from COVID-19 and chances of contamination is still very much prevalent. As a result, Premier League decided to go ahead in a behind closed doors format for the rest of the season.

    More than 300k positive cases have been reported in the UK till date, and 42,632 patients succumbed to the virus. Gathering up in the stadiums in the current scenario is a very risky affair and bears a chance of rapid spread of the virus again. As a result, the teams will have to play the remaining matches of the season in front of empty crowds, without the banners, anthems and the powerful aura that we have been familiar with in the English football culture for years.

    Under ‘Project Restart’, Premier League has taken all the necessary regulations which are required against COVID-19, from a number of sanitary measures such as sterilisation of match balls to regular testing of players and staffs. While the teams have just recently started contact training, each club has also begun testing 40 individuals twice a week. In case a player or a staff tests positive, the individual is put under quarantine away from the club. Till date, all PL sides have collectively done 8,687 tests, and 16 returned positive.

    Taking a player who has tested positive away from the squad for self isolation is a necessary safety measure for the whole team, but this can surely affect the first team chemistry. In addition to crowd less stands, not having all the players of the regular starting eleven can hinder morale.
