The video of women in sarees playing football broke all stereotypes and went viral on social media. According to The New Indian Express, the saree-clad players ranged in age from 20 to 72 years. Their enthusiasm raised the bar for the game as well as the fervour throughout the stadium. As the saree-clad women kicked goals, the audience erupted in cheers.
