Abhijeet Kadam Memorial Football tournament - An overview

With a great start of SRK sporting a turban for the inauguration of Abhijeet Kadam Memorial Football cup at Pune, the charity match has seen a lot of Bollywood stars in action over the last 11 days. The tournament had a good share of star attraction throughout with Shah Rukh Khan on the opening ceremony to Salman Khan, Govinda, Ranbir Kapoor playing in the celebrity match.

It was here that the people came to know about Ranbir Kapoor’s skills at the open field against a professional team of soccer players. Most clearly, Ranbir Kapoor was the man of the match who came home to Mumbai triumphant, having scored 4 out of the 7 goals scored by the Bollywood team, leading the film fraternity into a clean victory of the field.

The closing ceremony of the tournament was graced by actors Nana Patekar and John Abraham on Saturday. The duo also addressed the football fans in Marathi.

“Actors kya hain kee, actor ko dekhna logon ko dilchaspi hoti hain. Hum toh khel nahin sakte. Woh usko pakda na dekho John woh raha (People are interested in seeing the actors but we cannot play. See there is John. Catch him),” Nana told the crowd.

“Somebody asked me ‘do you plan to buy a football team? I said if I don’t buy it now, after four years it will be very expensive and here is a prospective buyer,” John said pointing towards the organiser Vishwajeet Kadam.

As for the charity, an amount of Rs 2.5 lakh only was given away to NGOs for cancer and AIDS patients.
