NEW JERSEY: With Saudi Arabia set to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup, India is lacing up its boots for a massive long-term push to elevate its football standards globally. Marking this ambitious drive, ‘Zor Se Bharat 2034’—an independent football development initiative led by Khans International Chairman Dr. Muhammad Khan—was officially launched at the iconic New York New Jersey Stadium, the venue for the 2026 FIFA World Cup final.
Viewing the 2034 World Cup in Asia as a prime milestone, the ambition-driven project aims to build a robust, long-term pipeline for Indian football. The roadmap focuses on grassroots scouting, coach education, structured youth tournaments, sports science, and advanced player welfare.
“India does not lack football talent. The challenge is creating consistent access to qualified coaching, structured competition, and long-term player development. Zor Se Bharat 2034 will be judged by the opportunities it creates and the results it reports,” said Dr. Muhammad Khan.
Key Highlights & Core Roadmap
- Grassroots Talent Identification: Open, nationwide trials will be conducted to scout promising players and place them in advanced development programs.
- Holistic Athlete Care: The program incorporates fitness, nutrition, injury-prevention assessments, and player-safeguarding protocols.
- Football Advisory Council: An independent council consisting of veteran coaches, former professional players, sports scientists, and youth development experts will oversee technical standards and policies.
- Transparency & Governance: To ensure accountability, the organization will maintain a secure player database, establish a formal grievances and appeals mechanism, and publish periodic progress reports detailing expenditure and athlete outcomes.
Digital Platform Launching Soon
The initiative’s official portal, will launch soon to serve as the central hub for trial announcements, eligibility guidelines, and application details.
“Players and their families deserve a system that is transparent, safe, and accountable. We intend to publish what we do, what we spend, and what we achieve,” Dr. Khan added.
