We want to popularise this great game all over the country. There is no much of talent in our country. We are still working out the details. But we will have a game plan in place soon. Football will get a huge boost across the country. It is a great team game. We are also looking at promoting basketball. In fact, we want the sports culture to prevail all over the country.
