Even though Indian football generated more attention in 2022 for its organisational chaos than for its on-field accomplishments.
The two historic event. Death Pele’s two days before the world was set to ring in the new year and Argentina’s World Cup victory under Lionel Messi will undoubtedly live on for decades to come.
