Actor and football enthusiast John Abraham met Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia to discuss a bold vision: transforming Northeast India into a global football hub. Joined by Northeast United FC CEO Mandar Tamhane, John shared his dream of discovering “India’s Messi or Ronaldo.” The meeting focused on youth empowerment, sports infrastructure, and talent scouting across the region. With a sports-only task force already in place and PM Modi’s government backing athletic development, the conversation is more than just talk — it’s a call to action.
