Bhubaneswar, June 13 Following team India's 1-0 triumph against Vanuatu in the Intercontinental Cup, captain Sunil Chhetri expressed his joy and appreciation for the sea of fans that turned up at the Kalinga Stadium.After scoring a crucial late winner for India on Monday night, skipper Chhetri reflected on his relationship with Odisha and urged more fans to come to the stadium to support the Blue Tigers when they take on Lebanon on June 15.India's clash against Vanuatu saw a multitude of fans gather at the iconic Kalinga Stadium to cheer the host nation.Talking about the fans' attendance, skipper Chhetri said, "I'll now indulge my greed. The numbers are excellent, but I would love to see more people in the stadium."He further added, "I'm asking because the nation is playing, and the boys are giving it their all. Please come if you have the time because the matches are enjoyable, and we are trying our best to make our country proud."Supporting the captain and the national team, Sai Shivdutt, a 24-year-old fan from Bhubaneswar, said, "I've been to this incredible stadium twice; the first time was during the FIFA Women's U17 World Cup, and it appears even better and exciting this time. Watching the national team participate here in Bhubaneswar is an honour, and the mood has been very encouraging as the national team has crept closer to the finals".Supporting and praising the turnout amongst fans of the game in Odisha, Joint Secretary, Sports & Youth Services Department, Ranjit Parida who presented the Player of the Match award to captain Sunil Chhetri, said international tournaments are often held here but this is a matter of great pride because Odisha has been a strong supporter of Indian football."Odisha fans cheer the loudest whenever the captain or any other national athlete scores. The Indian team is enabling football to reach out to a larger audience than ever before, and we are pleased that it has been a huge success," Parida said.Although the Odisha crowd's level of passion is tremendous, it is not surprising since Indian football is praised so highly in this country and the people of Odisha love sports."In the past, when we hosted the FIH Men's Hockey World Cup, our national team also drew a large contingent of fans. We will continue to strive to ensure that our community will see and enjoy the best sporting competitions," he added.The Intercontinental Cup 2023, featuring India, Lebanon, Vanuatu, and Mongolia, is an example of the state of Odisha's growing sports culture, as is the energetic environment around it. Without any question, the state's warm hospitality and world-class facilities will further enhance its position as India's sports hub.Meanwhile, action in the tournament picks up again when Mongolia play Vanuatu and Lebanon take on hosts India on Thursday, before the eagerly anticipated final is played on June 18.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
