Bringing The Beautiful Game to India
India recently launched its first ever national women's football league. It may only feature six teams but it's being seen as a crucial moment for the sport in the world' largest democracy.
England and Manchester City Women's midfielder Jill Scott travelled to India to see Manchester City's global community work in action.
Speaking to our reporter Rahul Tandon, in Kolkata, Scott said: "To see the enthusiasm of the kids, always smiling, always happy - it really brightens up your day."
