Where Giants Once Stood: Visiting The Venue Of India's 1956 Triumph Down Under
The Olympic Park Oval is where a monumental piece of history in Indian football was scripted 67 years ago when the Indian football team defeated Australia in the quarterfinal of the men's competition at the 1956 Olympic Games.
On December 1, 1956, the Indian team, coached by the legendary Syed Abdul Rahim and propelled by Neville D'Souza's hat-trick, registered a 4-2 win against the Aussies at the Olympic Park in Melbourne. There was a disagreement prior to the game about whether the Indian team could take to the field barefooted, and even the tournament officials could not decide whether the rules from the FIFA World Cup could be applied to the Olympic competition.
