New Delhi, July 10 2009:
All India Football Federation's (AIFF) first professional secretary Alberto Colaco has a major disappointment as he prepares to step down after eight years - not seeing India break into the top 100 in the international football federation (FIFA) rankings.
Colaco, whose tenure ends after the Nehru Cup in August, said that his desire to see India in FIFA's double-digit ranking and among Asia's top dozen countries remains unfulfilled.
"One big reason for India's tardy progress is that they could not compete internationally as much as a good team should do and the lack of match-play is the key reason for their sliding to 147th place in the FIFA rankings".
