XtraTime Web Desk: Rishi Tej, a ten-year-old boy from India became the first ever Indian ball boy taking part in a FIFA World Cup game. Rishi walked out as the ball boy in the Group G match between Belgium and Panama at the Fisht stadium.
Now, another Indian kid Nathania John Kandathil will carry the ball in Brazil vs Costa Rica game.
Both of them are part of the FIFA OMBC programme.
10-year-old Rishi hails from Bengaluru and Nathania, on the other hand, is from Tamil Nadu.
She became the lone girl to make it to the top after beating competition from 50 boys.
She impressed everyone with her skills in the campaign organized by FIFA.
The participants had to upload a video of 30 seconds to show their football skills.
Rishi said that it looks like he is still dreaming and wants to live every moment.
He added only enjoying this moment is not his idea as he wants to analyze the game as well.
Further, Nathania stated that the thought of entering the pitch isn’t ‘impacting’ her right now, but the sight of entering the stadium will stay with her forever.
