| Bala Devi, Oinam Bembem Devi and Ashalata Devi were invited to play for New Radiant Club in Maldivian League |
Three members of Indian Womens National Team - Oinam Bembem Devi, Ashalata Devi and Bala Devi, have been invited to play for New Radiant Club in the Maldivian League, Maldives. The trio will leave Indian shores on Friday (May 22, 2015) and will partake in the Maldivian League which runs from May 24, 2015 to June 06, 2015.
“I am on top of the world. This has been one of the best days in my life. I am excited to participate in this league as this will be a very new experience for me to play in a foreign league. I think this exposure will evolve me into a better Player. Although I am exuberant and jovial right now, I know playing abroad requires a lot of focus. Our participation in a foreign league will act as a beacon for Women’s football in India” said Bala Devi.
The living legend that is Oinam Bembem Devi, who has been part of the success of the Indian Women’s National Team for nearly 20 years agrees that this exodus will act as a torchbearer for Indian Women’s Football.
“Our participation in a foreign league is kind of a salute to all those girls who dream of growing up and playing Football in India. This move will also convey the girls that if they work hard, dream big and believe in themselves, anything is possible. Moreover this will also inspire a number of girls to take up football and I think that is something positive for Women’s Football in general", says Bembem.
With an ever changing scenic view, only for the better, in Indian Football it would be fair to assume that the future is bound to hurl us with exceptional talents, courtesy of the heroes and ‘trendsetters’, who inspire them.
