FIFA has started a new "Regional Content Initiative". It has turned out to be good news for Indians football fans because India's star Sunil Chhetri is featuring in it. India is yet to play a World Cup however FIFA has decided to make Chhetri part of the series.
"Some of the parts have been shot in Bangalore as he is living there while a bit of shooting also took place in Delhi, where his parents live and where he grew up," according to reports.
Chhetri also received a congratulatory message from top EPL club Tottenham Hotspur for equalling Hungarian legend Ferenc Puskas' tally of 84 international goals.
The 37-year-old is just two goals behind Lionel Messi's tally of 86 goals. He is the third-highest goal scorer in international football among active players, a list that is led by Cristiano Ronaldo.
When asked about his record after India's qualification to the Asian Cup, the Chhetri had stated, "I genuinely don't care about records and personal milestones. I just want to enjoy myself as I move on to the last moments – just go out and enjoy on the pitch."
