AIMS is bigger than the Commonwealth Games in terms of people participating!!
There will be over 60 football teams from around the country and a few from Australia occasionally competing. Its a great tournament, and there is usually 1 or 2 stand out players in each team.
You are living in a dream world if you believe that, sounds like the sort of crap the NZ Rugby union put out.
Glasgow games had 4947 participants. Divide that number by your 60 odd teams and each team would need to have 80+ players.
Don't know about numbers each year, but there are a lot more sports than football at AIMS.
