This is the first occasion in India when a football tournament is so much populated and worldwide it is getting popularity all over the world.

It’s been three months, it’s been serious from day one, I’m a competitor and I have a team of competitors and we want to win the cup. I think we’re set for a wonderful encounter tomorrow (Saturday); it’s going to be a wonderful and exciting game,” he added.
