The Northeast has become one of India’s biggest football talent pools, with players making up a significant share of the men’s and women’s national teams and the ISL.
From Manipur’s dominance in women’s football to Mizoram’s Mizo Premier League and the region’s growing access to academies and national competitions, the talent pipeline has developed over several decades.
But the bigger challenge is turning that talent into long-term professional careers, especially for women.

More than 2.6 million girls in Afghanistan have been denied a secondary education in the five years since the de facto authorities took power.
Afghanistan remains the only country in the world where secondary and higher education is effectively closed to girls and women.
Girls have been barred from formal education beyond grade six since September 2021, and women from universities since December 2022.
“Five years may be brief in a country’s history, but it is a defining period in a girl’s life,” said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell.
“A classroom offers more than learning. It gives a young person a voice and the ability to reach their full potential. And it offers a shield against child labour, early marriage, and violence and abuse. When schools closed, that protection disappeared – at a time when girls needed it most.”
Girls who are out of school face heightened protection risks, including child labour, abuse, early marriage and gender-based violence.

Maybe the better question is this: after nearly eight decades of Independence, are we truly independent in our thinking, institutions, and choices?
