Dreams do come true - Soumya Guguloth after making India debut in Turkey

On the occasion of the International Women's Day, we take a look at one of the promising names in the Indian women's football team

Soumya Guguloth hails from the small village of Kunepally of Raljal Mandal in the Nizamabad district of Telangana. The region which once used to be a powerhouse of Indian football in the 1950s and 60s now seldom produces any special talent.

Needless to say that the footballing culture has withered away and it came as no surprise when a young girl was frowned upon when she started practising with boys due to the lack of girls in her bid to pursue the sport.
