Football on the Margins: Community Clubs vs Big Bucks (420 Grams Ground Report)

The 2019 edition of the Indian Women's League (IWL 2019) showcased the top talent in the country. The League, which was won by Sethu FC from Madurai, featured a mix of professional, semi-pro and amateur outfits. 420 Grams was in Ludhiana for the tournament and met up with three clubs — Bangalore United FC, Baroda Football Academy and Panjim Footballers — who are using strong community ties and locally nurtured players in a proper David vs. Goliath story. Their fight is a simple one: for dignity, a little support and a little more opportunity.
