NewsGram Desk

Actor Ranbir Kapoor says that football has been a sleeping sport in India but it is now gaining importance due to government support.

"I have always enjoyed playing soccer (football) as a child. It is a sleeping sport in our country, but now with government's support and leagues like Indian Super League, it is slowly gaining prominence. It is good if a country has different sports as it gives a platform to more talent," Ranbir said in a statement.

Ranbir Kapoor is a huge football fan.

The actor was at the Global Indian International School (GIIS) East Coast Campus grounds for a practice session on April 22 before the Magic Bus Cup Celebrity Football Match. The match saw the All Stars Football Club, comprising Bollywood stars playing against Singapore's Celebrities Sports Club for a charity cause. IANS
