The Honourable Prime Minister Shri: The Indian Ambassador to Qatar, Vipul met the members of the Indian football team here on Saturday along with representatives from the local Indian diaspora.

The team presented signed jerseys to the Ambassador and a memento to the Indian Sports Council as a token of appreciation for the love and support they have shown. The ISC also launched the biography of the Blue Tigers legend of the 1950s and 1960s, M Kempaiah, in the presence of the Indian team. The book is authored by Kempaiah’s daughter Summa Gowda.

The Ambassador said, “The kind of interest that is generated in Indian football today is simply amazing. The Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is known to have taken a keen interest in football himself. Football is a sport that is followed across the spectrum, not only in India but also among the Indian community abroad."
