In 2017, Indian football witnessed significant growth with the introduction of locally manufactured sports equipment. The year saw the launch of the \“Striker Pro\“ football, entirely produced in Kerala using indigenous rubber and stitching techniques. This ball was used in several domestic tournaments including the I-League and local state championships.
Another notable product was the \“Goalpost India\“ training kits manufactured in Punjab. These kits included agility ladders, cones, and marker flags made from locally sourced materials. Many football academies across Maharashtra and West Bengal adopted these cost-effective training tools for their youth development programs.
The \“TurfMaster\“ football shoes, crafted in Chennai using traditional kolhapuri leatherworking methods combined with modern sports technology, gained popularity among professional players. These shoes featured special studs designed for Indian turf conditions and were tested during the 2017 Federation Cup matches. |
