Hometown FC EP #30: Ranjit Bajaj
He Bought a Club With His Own Money. Now His Academy Beats Liverpool. | Ranjit Bajaj An academy from INDIA just beat Liverpool FC at MIC — and the man behind it might be the craziest story in world football. Ranjit Bajaj didn't inherit a system. He built one. From buying a struggling club with his own money, to turning a piece of land in Punjab into a football factory, to producing national team players in a country everyone wrote off — this is what building something from nothing actually looks like. In this episode we get into: ⚽ How an Indian academy beat Liverpool FC — and why it wasn't a fluke Building a football factory with no federation support, no blueprint, and no excuses What scouts in Europe get wrong about players from "non-football" countries Why the next generation of world-class talent won't come from where you think The mentality shift that separates kids who make it from kids who don't If you're a player, parent, or coach who's ever been told your kid doesn't have the right zip code to make it — this one's for you.
