Football a sleeping sport in India, says Ranbir
Mumbai

Actor Ranbir Kapoor says that football has been a
sleeping sport in India but it is now gaining importance due to government
support.
"I have always enjoyed playing soccer (football) as a child. It
is a sleeping sport in our country, but now with government's support and
leagues like Indian Super League, it is slowly gaining prominence. It is good if
a country has different sports as it gives a platform to more talent," Ranbir
said in a statement.
The actor was at the Global Indian International
School (GIIS) East Coast Campus grounds for a practice session on April 22
before the Magic Bus Cup Celebrity Football Match. The match saw the All Stars
Football Club, comprising Bollywood stars playing against Singapore's
Celebrities Sports Club for a charity cause.
