A dream coming true for an India sportsman, that too who plays football. Yes, former Dempo Sports Club stiker, and now for MLS Kansas City Wizards, Sunil Chetri is all set to rub shoulders with the greats of Manchester United, this Sunday (25th July, 2010) in a pre-season friendly. Sunil's dream will come true in a newly enovated Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, where he will be up against players like Giggs, Scholes, Gary Neville, Darren Fletcher, Berbatov and Edwin Van der Sar.
"We're looking forward to Sunil getting the opportunity to play," Kansas City Wizards Manager Peter Vermes said.
"He's been working very hard, and this game will give him a chance to measure himself against some of the best players in the world," he added.
"I'm very excited. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play against the best team in the world," said Chetri, who became the first Indian to join an MLS team when he was signed on to Kansas City from Dempo SC ahead of the 2010 season.
Good Luck Sunil! Make your club and country proud.
