Registrations are open for Shanthi Kunnj presents Zars Football Funday – a 5 a side football event for both Men and Women to be played out on the 13th of January at Astro Park, Cooperage, Colaba.

Founded by two sports enthusiasts – one of whom is three-time Player for Maharashtra Women’s team, Zars Sports aims at bridging the gender gap through sports as a medium.

While this will be the first tournament from Zars Sports, there are plans for plenty more similar tournaments in near future. Apart from organizing corporate & open tournaments or other sporting events, Zars Sports would also begin football training’s for Kids and adults alike with special focus on empowering women through the sport.

Since the last decade number of sportswomen have risen to the top and made a mark in Indian sports. From Hima Das in track and field, Mary Kom in boxing, Phogat sisters in Wrestling to Harmanpreet, Smriti Mandhana in women’s cricket, Bala Devi in Women’s football have inspired plenty of girls to take up sports. Women are far more visible in sports today, than at any previous point in history.

Speaking to Footballcounter.com, Co-founder of Zars sports Kimberly Fernandez opined, “Through sport, we can leverage our partnerships & engagements with different audiences to teach everyone that gender-based biases have no place on or off the playing field. This is what we at Zars are working towards.”
