Last month, India's Special Olympics Bharat football team received a warm send-off at the Embassy of Sweden in New Delhi as the reigning champions departed for the Gothia Cup in Gothenburg, aiming to complete a historic hat-trick of titles in the Special Olympics Trophy category.
The tournament, regarded as the world's largest youth football competition, will be held in Gothenburg, Sweden, from July 12 to 18, with nearly 1,700 teams from across the globe taking part. Addressing the send-off ceremony, Delhi Cabinet Minister Ashish Sood praised the team's achievements and wished them success in their quest for a third consecutive title.

They are aiming for a hat-trick of victories, seeking to win the title for the third time. I also commend the creation of such a vibrant team and the development of a strong sports ecosystem in the country," Sood said.
