12. Indo-Gulf Football Venture
We must accept the global economical reality, where US & EU are
struggling hard to recover their economy but they also realized that
it’s impossible & future is very uncertain. At present moment, Yes,
those continents are heavily dependent on Gulf Sovereign Funds.
Though the administrators of Gulf countries know very well, they
won’t get a single dollar return & it will go bad debts.
This is the high time for Persian Gulf Countries & SAARC countries to
diversify in some kind of business where they get support of the
mass & ROI. The business is very interesting and its world’s No.1
sport “FOOTBALL”, in earlier times Chinese called football,
“Sochu”.
Indo-Football Ventures is, "Soccer Communication Bridge" between
India & Gulf States and a platform for Indo - Persian Gulf Soccer
Ventures. However, the network can be further expanded
to Levant Region of Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Turkey
and Maghreb countries of North Africa. I mean, entire MENA
Region can be covered, depending on "ROI"
