YEAR-WISE DEVELOPMENTS

2022

Sudeshna Ghosh, August 20, 2022: The Times of India

Even as the Fifa ban dominated most Indian minds and timelines on Thursday, a new chapter was added to the history of Indian football at Engomi, near Cyprus’s capital of Nicosia. At the stroke of the 60th minute in the match between Apollon Ladies FC and SFK Riga, Manisha Kalyan came in as a substitute for the former at Makareio stadium and became the first Indian footballer — among both men and women — to play in the topmost European club competition, the Uefa Champions League.

For Haryana girl Manisha, it was not the impending history for the nation but the personal milestone and earnestness to stay focused that topped the mind ahead of her debut.

“Coach (Laurent Fassotte) had told me before the match to be prepared and that I would get some time in the match, even if it was for 10-15 minutes. So I had begun preparing myself,” Manisha told TOIon Friday. “I was telling myself that I needed to be ready, to give my very best. The entire time, the focus was on giving my best for the club. ”
