Prime Minister Narendra Modi also handed out mementos to footballers who have led India national football teams in the past as part of the pre-match ceremony. However, Indian women footballers who represented the country at the 1981 Women's World Cup in Taipei were left out.
Kuntala Ghosh Dastidar, who was part of the Indian women's World Cup team in 1981, expressed her disappointment on not being invited for the event. Speaking to Ei Samay Kuntala said, "The government felicitated so many (footballer) at the inaugural day. We would have been glad and honoured if invited. But disappointed that it did not happen."
The former players who were felicitated during the ceremony were - Bhaichung Bhutia, Bembem Devi, Bhaskar Ganguly, Chuni Goswami, IM Vijayan, PK Banerjee, Joaquim Abranches, Saeed Nyeemuddin, Samar Banerjee and current skipper Sunil Chhetri.

Kochi and Kerala attendance is as per expectation. This proves that you go beyond the same centers there is a deep rooted support to watch football.
Ridiculous to say Goa has the best support when newer Centres have proved they can show better support.
