Dear all, Hope you all will be fine,
Here I would like to inform and clarify to all of you that there is nothing to be amaze and delight because it is not first time when this kind of activity is taken place for the blind in our country. Earlyer many many football related activity have been held in all over the India. I would also like to share something with you. there is a national sports body known as an Indian blind sports association (IBSA) affiliated by international blind sports federation and PCI. Till now 9 National football tournament for the blind have been organized by IBSA. Apart of it many times IBSA sent Indian blind football team to participate in to the international tournaments. Of course above mentioned move is good but nothing to be surprised. To the best of my knowledge the tournament held in Kerla was a invitational cup only instead of any recognize tournament if I am not wrong. thanks and regards, On 5/15/16, nitesh gupta <[email protected]> wrote: > really great move by Kerala Blind Football Federation. > I am amazed with delight to read this news. > > On 5/11/16, Renuka Warriar Edakkunni <[email protected]> wrote: >> KOCHI, May 11, 2016 >> Updated: May 11, 2016 01:43 IST >> Enabling the visually challenged to live their football dreams >> >> M.
