The state of Rajasthan has never had a team at this level and Saroha feels that a successful season will build on improving the football culture in Rajasthan.
"Winning the Hero I-League Qualifiers and getting into the prestigious Hero I-League was a dream come true for not only all of us but also for each and every football player and fans of Rajasthan," he said.
"The local players now know the platform or the pathway by which they can realize their dreams of becoming professional footballers and also getting scouted for the Indian National Team on the basis of their performance in the league," added Saroha.
