Gumla, Oct 11: The family of India’s U-17 women’s football team captain Astam Oraon will be watching television for the first time at their Jharkhand residence as the state has provided them with a TV and inverter ahead of the tournament.
The fact that they will witness their daughter captaining the nation at the FIFA Women’s Under-17 World Cup makes it very remarkable.
At the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar this evening, India plays host to the dominant US.
Notably, Oraon is a native of a small village in Jharkhand’s Gumla district. The district administration arranged for a television and an inverter to be delivered to her house before the first match so that her family could watch her bouts.
“All set: Ashtam for the match. And, their family and villagers for the viewership (TV & inverter provided),” tweeted the office of Deputy Commissioner, Gumla.
