So, the only time FAM managed to actually draw up a properly planned footballing season, they are forced to do this. Just proves that, unfortunately, no one cares about the well-being of domestic football. These so-called "fans" who turn up in large groups to support the national team are also shamelessly silent on this matter.

Lack of professional football teams!!! That's the main problem. Look the stadium is a government property. So they will use it whenever they want. These things would stop when clubs have their own stadiums. The newly proposed home-away tournament is the solution to these issues (I guess)
