Honourable minister of the Govt of West Bengal, Firhad Hakim is known to be a keen football enthusiast and it’s his famous Chetla Agrani Club who are bringing Oliver Kahn to inaugurate their Durga Puja this time. Kahn always had a special connection with Kolkata as he played his farewell match at the gigantic Salt Lake Stadium a few years back.
The former Bayern Munich legend has a huge fan base across the globe and appeared to be a “tragic hero” in the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Korea-Japan for his heroic performance throughout the competition. It is learnt that Diego Maradona too will be present at Chetla Agrani when he will arrive.
No doubt, the passionate football fans of the city will be gearing up for a mouth-watering time during the biggest festival of the entire Bengali community.
