Indians have rushed to buy tickets for an India-Kenya football match in Mumbai after home team captain Sunil Chhetri pleaded with fans to attend games.
All 7,000 tickets at the Mumbai Football Arena for Monday’s game sold out after his video went viral.
Chettri made the appeal on social media after only 2,569 fans turned up to watch their most recent game.
His video was shared by thousands of people, including the cricket captain Virat Kohli.
Cricket is hugely popular in India and often overshadows other sports like football and hockey.
“Please come and support us, encourage us, watch us, abuse us, criticise us. Football in India needs you,” he says in the video.
