SACHIN TENDULKAR HAS URGED INDIAN FANS 

TO CHEER FOR MEN IN BLUE IN UPCOMING U17 WORLD CUP

India's Master Blaster, Sachin Tendulkar has urged football fans in the country to support India's under-17 team in the upcoming FIFA Under-17 World Cup to be held from October 6-28 in the country.

Sachin, who was announced as Sony Pictures Networks' India ambassador said in the event- "Under-17 (tournament) will have some world-class players playing and I am looking forward to this tournament. You know a World Cup in any format is always championship competition at the highest level. I don’t see anything different coming here in the Under 17 FIFA World Cup because seventeen is in today’s world, it’s not young. I was in Rio (Olympics) last August and saw rugby matches featuring women. I never thought it would get so physical. It is just about the time when you are looking to be competitive. There are boys who stay within their limitation and deliver."

"This is India's greatest opportunity to show our support towards another sport (other than cricket). This is only about taking it to the next level and I am sure spectators won't disappoint us Indians. Let's not disappoint each other. Go out and support those youngsters," added Tendulkar.
