Indian football team donates Rs 20 lakh from their Intercontinental Cup prize money to families of Balasore train accident victims | Football News – Times of India
In a display of solidarity and compassion, the Indian football team has made the heartfelt decision to contribute a portion of the cash award presented by the Odisha government for their Intercontinental Cup victory towards the “relief and rehabilitation” efforts for families affected by a recent train accident in the state.
After triumphing over Lebanon with a 2-0 victory in the title clash, securing the trophy for the second time in three appearances, the Indian team demonstrated their commitment to social responsibility.
Following this achievement, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik announced a cash reward of Rs 1 crore for the team. In a unanimous decision, led by coach Igor Stimac, the players collectively agreed to donate Rs 20 lakh from this reward towards aiding the affected families during this difficult time.”We’re grateful for the gesture by the Government of Odisha to award the team with a cash bonus for our win. In what was an instant and collective decision by the dressing room, we’ve decided to donate Rs. 20 lakh of that money towards relief and rehabilitation work for families affected by the unfortunate train accident in the state earlier this month,” the Indian Football Team tweeted.
“Nothing will compensate for the loss that people have faced, but we hope that this plays its own little part in helping families cope and tide through what are very tough times.”
