SportsKolkata's Enduring Love for Brazil Beyond World Cups
Kolkata's connection with Brazil football goes beyond the usual World Cup enthusiasm. It began decades ago, notably when Pele played at Eden Gardens in 1977, drawing 80,000 fans. This event gave Brazil a tangible presence in India. Over time, Brazilian players living and playing in Kolkata deepened this bond, making Brazil a beloved football culture in the city, not just a periodic interest during tournaments.
