I think this can be unhappy that in India, solely cricket is obtaining enough attention from the revered authorities and other people .I know the story i might introduce to you'd ne'er happen in the case of cricket.Cricket features a robust administration in the name of BCCI,which has the power to manage even world governing body(ICC).Apart from all they have huge fan following in the country and it makes cricket the sole roaring sports business within the country.
Coming to football, its begin from the glory and ends in fail.Yes ,we were one of the best in Asia and one in every of the robust contenters in the world too.Now people here in India are crazy regarding cricket and no-one cares football.I think this mentality has started since India won the ICC World cup in 1983.
i do not wish sacrificing of a sport for another to grow.But in spite of everything i would like is equality among sports similar to what we would like among folks.But sadly India isn't a multisports nation like U.S.A. or United Kingdom and extremely hardly get support for sports except Cricket.Even our National sport Hockey is troubled to stay the ball moving
Here i might wish to share the unhappy story of Dooars XI, a women's football team from Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal
Dooars XI is associate all-girl team.They are running the team sustained by the cash they earn from selling tea and rotis.They are rabid football lovers thats why they moving forward despite facing all the difficulties.I questioned once I came to understand the very fact is that even a national team player doesn't have a football of her own
" I run ths football club.When i was kid looking at my brother playing football,I was inspired to start girls football team.Sometimes i use to wear his clothes,my aunt used to taunt me saying me "what kind of a girl are you?,why are you wearing clothes you should not be wearing?" says Bhavani Munda team's player-coach.
When i write this text,i was memory the Holker Stdium ,Indore where a local A division team,which had made no of state level players, cleansed the complete cricket stadium to exchange their torn boots and previous kits.It has been a transparent vision within the unhealthy state of Indian Football and the way the football body works here within the India.
Shakuntala Ohara, India nation National Womens team player.But sadly she didn't get any needed facilities until date.As a national team player she gets solely Jersey,track suit and sockes.She do not even own a football.
"Everyone promises that they will give us whatever we need.Telling us not to worry.They rise our hopes,and when the time comes not a single person helps us" disclosed Bhavani
All team mates have lots of expertise in playing numerous tournanments even for national team.Some of them have twenty years of experience within the field of most followed game In the world.But sadly none of them have their own shoes,football,kits etc.
"We don't get anything.But after all,our country is country,no and i still want to play for my country and i am still proud to play football" concluded a Dooars XI player.
As a soccer enthusiast ,i wonder why the govt or respected Authorities not taking any necessory action even in the football crazy state of Bengal.And medias too not giving enough attention to the game and its poor condition.
I hope we are able to provide the team members kits consisting of socks, shoes (studs) and a football each. Let's show them that National pride in sports isn't solely restricted to Cricket.
