Dr. Harjoban Singh — the only FIFA-approved orthopaedic surgeon in the Chandigarh Tricity — sees patients with this condition regularly. Most cases are treated without surgery first.

What FIFA Certification Actually Requires

FIFA — the international football federation — runs the FIFA Medical Centre of Excellence programme to ensure consistent, evidence-based, world-class orthopaedic care for professional and amateur athletes globally.

Certification requires:

  • Annual peer review by FIFA assessors of clinical outcomes, complication rates, and return-to-play protocols.
  • Standardised return-to-play testing — functional batteries (single-leg hop, lateral hop, isokinetic strength) before sports clearance is signed.
  • Sports-medicine specific training at recognised international centres.
  • Multidisciplinary team — surgeon, sports physiotherapist, biomechanist, sports physician.
  • Outcome reporting — participation in FIFA's outcome registries.

It is not a marketing badge. It is an annually re-audited operating standard.

Why It Matters For You — Even If You're Not An Athlete

The clinical decisions that matter for an elite footballer — precise alignment in ACL reconstruction, intact meniscal preservation, careful graft selection, evidence-based rehab milestones — are exactly the same decisions that determine the long-term outcome for any active patient.

The 55-year-old who wants to walk to the gurudwara, the 40-year-old club cricketer, the 30-year-old runner, and the 25-year-old footballer all benefit from the same protocols. The difference at FIFA centres: those protocols are not negotiable.

The same precision. The same protocols. The same zero-tolerance for complications.
