Supported by SKF India, the Indian team, comprising of athletes with Intellectual and developmental delays, remained unbeaten in their group and lifted the prestigious trophy.

The team received a befitting welcome on Saturday upon their return to the nation’s capital by the distinguished guests including Chief Guest, Ms Raksha Khadse, Union Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports, Dr Mallika Nadda, President SO Bharat and Chairperson Asia Pacific Advisory Council (APAC), Dr Upasna Arora, Treasurer, SO Bharat.

The nail-biting group final between SO Bharat and SO Denmark went right down to the wire but SO Bharat athletes won the thriller with a score of 4-3 to lift the trophy. Muhammad Shaheer, who hails from Kerala, scored seven goals, the maximum by any Indian player. Shaheer, a son of fisherman, has an Intellectual disability and nurtures a passion for football along with other sports including cycling and swimming.

Ms Raksha Khadse, Union Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports congratulated the Indian contingent and said, “I am extremely happy to have the opportunity to be present here and listen to the story of each and every athlete, who have gone through so many struggles and hardships throughout their lives, and yet have brought such a prestigious glory for our country.

The stellar performance of the athletes is a result of impeccable training, practice and motivation. I am grateful to team SKF India for opening this phenomenal opportunity for our Athletes and also for their enthusiastic support. The support of the Embassy of Sweden in India further made the experience heartwarming and inspirational. It is delightful to see diverse organisations converging to drive inclusion forward.”

Harpreet Singh Gambhir, Coach of the team and Joint Director – Sports SO Bharat said: “Team coordination was one of the main factors which led our team to victory. The discipline and focus with which every athlete followed instructions was overwhelming. The preparations for the tournament gathered momentum in May. Since then, the athletes have been monitored even at times remotely by the coaches. The excitement and cheer at the event truly defined the tournament as a sports celebration accepting diversities and upholding inclusiveness.”
