National football day

All India Football Federation: July 29 has been recommended as 'India’s National Football Day' by Kanishka Pandey, head- Sports Research Centre at IMT Ghaziabad.

July 29, 1911, a red-letter day in Indian history. The Swadeshi Movement had died out with top leaders mostly arrested, retired or in their heavenly abode. The Revolutionary Movement was gaining strides. The general population was mainly a spectator with mostly mundane activities hither thither.
