Indian football clubs have come together to support those in need amid the Coronavirus pandemic…
During what has been a challenging time for India due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the football clubs in the country have come together to support the citizens in need of essential resources.
The ISL clubs have been using their twitter handles to amplify COVID-19 support requests from other twitter profiles by retweeting their tweets and posting informative content regarding the virus and vaccination drives.
The move by these clubs, who all have large follower counts. is worth appreciating and is certainly the need of the hour, given the seriousness of the pandemic. Over the last few days,India has been registering over 300,000 cases of infections per day. And these football clubs can play an important role in sharing valuable information emergency supplies during this testing time.
