IMPACT OF GOAL 2066

The real impact of GOAL 2066 is not just winning the Football World Cup, but a world-class sports ecosystem

Even if we fail to win the football World Cup, our efforts to win it will create a world-class sports ecosystem in India. The following infographic illustrates the impact of GOAL 2066 in football. It will also inspire other sports in India to grow and excel.

Our Efforts & Impact

Our efforts to create 100+ football leagues & 1000+ professional football clubs will have an impact in the following way.

Community Ownership & Capital Formation

If we create a fan-owned cooperative football club in each district in India, we can create 1000+ such clubs. India has more than 700 districts, and each district can own 1 fan-owned club, and big districts can own more than one club. Each club will have:

  • 1,00,000 registered members
  • Each member invests a minimum of ₹500

Then:

  • ₹5 crore per club
  • ₹5,000 crore total grassroots investment

No government funding. Just people investing in their local club.

MATCHDAY ECONOMY ALONE
(NO TV, NO SPONSORS)

Per match:

  • 10,000 spectators
  • ₹100 average ticket price
  • ₹50 average food/refreshment spend

Revenue per match: ₹15,00,000

Annual revenue (9,000 matches):
₹13,500 crore

Government tax revenue (10%):
₹1,350 crore

EMPLOYMENT:
FOOTBALL AS A JOB CREATOR

Direct Employment

Club-Level Employment

Each club employs approx 300 professionals:

  • Coaches
  • Support team
  • Sports Management professionals
  • Groundsmen
  • Security
  • Media & marketing teams

Total club jobs:
300 × 1,000 clubs = 3,00,000 jobs
