Chennai Street Girls Make a Splash in Qatar Football World Cup

A soccer team of nine girls who used to live on Chennai streets earlier have brought laurels to India, moving upto quarter finals in the Street Children Football World Cup held in Qatar ahead of the FIFA 22 World Cup.
Representing India, the team from Karunalaya, a non profit organisation in Chennai won 4 of the six matches they played against Mexico 2-0, Bangladesh 1-0, Zimbabwe 5-0, Peru 1-0 and lost to USA and Columbia in the quarter finals.
