A Club in My Land
For over 12 years now, I’ve followed the English Premier League. The passion is high and the games, the victories, and the losses matter so much to us. The excitement and entertainment is beyond my ability to explain. I’m sure there are millions of football fans like me all over India.
We’ve always cribbed about Indian football or just simply chose to ignore it. But that has changed for me, and is changing for many these days. Bengaluru Football Club, founded in 2013, got the people in the city together. Initially, it was just a few people, being vocal, singing chants all throughout the game. That passion grew beyond them and has been spreading to reach every football enthusiast in the city.
West Block Blues, BFC’s most crazy fans always come out in huge numbers to support the club every other week. You can clearly see how much this means to us; it’s a bond that is just growing stronger. We sing, chant, make creative yet intimidating banners; BFC is now one of the toughest teams to play in the country at their home.
This season we even had pre-match rituals with flares and chants to get into the mood for the game. 2 championships in 3 years of existence - now that’s an amazing feat.
Best club, best fans. If this is in any way an indication, Indian football is on the rise, and fast.
What remains is - will you be in that number when the blues go marching in?
