Great news for Tamil Nadu! But I hope other states also get opportunities to develop their sports infrastructure. India needs multiple sports hubs, not just one.

While the facilities are good, I hope they also focus on making tickets affordable for local sports enthusiasts. Sometimes these events become too expensive for common people to attend.

Madurai getting international matches is wonderful! It's about time tier-2 cities get their share of major events. This will boost local economy and sports culture significantly.
