In the wake of Sunil Chhetri's impassioned plea, fans are set to throng the Mumbai Football Arena here today, as tickets for India's Intercontinental Cup game against Kenya were sold out.
On Saturday, India skipper Chhetri had posted an emotional video, urging fans to come and support the team for what will also be his 100th international match.
"Yes, the tickets have been sold out for tonight's game," an official told PTI.
Mumbai District Football Association president Aaditya Thackeray tweeted, "I'm glad that after @chetrisunil11's heartfelt appeal, so many of us have responded and got the seats to #BacktheBlue. This is only the beginning, let's make sure each game that @IndianFootball plays is houseful! They pour their heart out for us, least we can do is be there!!"
