football...the passion of Malappuram
Football!!The passion of people in Malappuram district of kerala.Though the game had evolved in ancient Greek and Rome and got shaped into its present form in Britain, a typical football enthusiast of Malapuram keeps a kind of extreme emotional affinity with soccer.
Even if there is a lack of infrastructure, Malappuam has devoloped its own soccer that is called sevens football.It suits the environment of the district and gained more popularity.You will be astonished to see even the least devoloped villages in malappuram district will be having a sevens football club.Each and every village in Malappuram district will be having a sevens football stadium and would be conducting football tournaments throughout the year.If there are no grounds,the nearby school ground will be used for the tournaments.The contenders of these tournaments would be the neighbouring villages or cities.These football tournaments will be crowded with crazy fans and supporters.People would be watching football matches by sitting on temperory stands and the tickets costs around 10Rs to 20Rs. You will never imagine a crowd like this for a match between two village teams in any other part of world except in Malappuram.
Malappuram has contributed many football players to kerala and India.
Football fever in malappuram will be at its peak during the fifa world cup and euro cup season.People of Malappuram will start to celebrate these events as soon as fifa annonces the fixtures of the tournament.The nooks and corner of malappuram will be decorated by the flags and posters of teams which are competing in the tournaments.Huge cutouts and banners would be erected in all streets.The very rare thing in any other part of the world and the most common thing in Malappuram,ie the huge cutouts of referees might confuse you and at the same time excite you of thinking the spirit of the people.Fan clubs will be emerged in every village.The normal costumes of the people in malappuram district will be changed in to jersies of favourite teams.The most exciting thing is that each and every team,even if it’s a newcomer and least known also,would be having fan clubs in Malappuram.Public places like teashops,busstops etc will be very active with debates.Many people who are working in abroad would be taking a month long holiday and will join their fan clubs only to celebrate the events.You will be excited to see the people who are accompanying the bride groom in a marriage ceremony wearing Brazil’s and Argentina’s tshirts.Like this,each and everything in Malappuram will be having a football touch during the seasons.The news papers woulbe printing special suppliments only for malappuram.
Instead of watching football at homes, clubs will put up temperory tents and display football matches with the help of projectors and gensets.It would increase the spirit of the people.Argentina and Brazil are having more number of fans in Malappuram, other countries like England, France, Germany,Italy and Portugal are also not so behind.There would be very high competition even in between the fans.Most of the times it leads to distributing sweets and bursting crackers to celebrate the lose of the opponents.As soon as matches progress,people will be losing their hair and other valuables as a result of betting for their teams.People will celebrate their favorite team’s win with gaiety.You might think,not even the fans of Brazil and Argentina in their own contries will not celebrate their win like a Malappuramite does.
