Synopsis

Venturing into the realm of sports in Goa, Cristiano Ronaldo emerges as a prominent figure in the football scene, despite cricket reigning as the national sport in India. Amidst the fervor for football, Goa hosts its own championship and witnesses an ardent cult around the renowned Portuguese player. The establishment of the Indian football championship in 2014, known as the ISL (Indian Super League), further solidified local passion for the game. The imposing statue of CR7 in Goa is a tangible manifestation of this affection, highlighting not only the devotion to football but also the dedicated veneration for this international icon.
