Day 12 of Independent Study
January 14th, 2018
I came to this independent study wanting to get more exposed to the soccer world, and a proffessional setting in general. I wanted to get more experience working in this field, as it may be something I look to pursue in the future. But I think what I came away with was way different. I actually developed a connection with the club of Fateh Hyderabad AFC. When I talked to Yogesh Maurya about the club's principles and goals, while also looking at their limitations it made me care a lot. It's hard to see a club at the place they're at with the values that they do. But I've also seen a lot of improvement, in the partnerships they've gained and the accomplishments they've gotten on the field. So I'm hopeful. There are a lot of religious tensions in the city of Hyderabad, as there exists both Muslim people and Hindu people. But the tension doesn't exist within the club; they celebrate inclusivity. I think that's important, and in the future could help religious relations within the city, once this clubs gets promoted and gets popular. When this team gets promoted, TV money will go up, ad revenue money will go up, and they'll also get prize money. I'm hopeful, because I'm confident that they'll not only put money into the club and its players, but also more good causes like their youth academy and physical education partnership. It's not often that you see clubs at their level have that kind of professionalism and value, so I really wish the best for them. In addition, I love everyone personally involved their, and I'm also a fan that the owner of the club is American. I love America and anytime we can be represented well overseas, I'm a fan. Overall, I am glad that I got more exposure to a professional setting and social media, but I'm moreso glad that I got to help the club and ultimately the city of Hyderabad. Soccer is there; it's in the history, it's in the schools. But Fateh Hyderabad AFC is going to truly bring it to life, and I'm glad to have been apart of that.
