Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan: German football legend and former coach Dietmar Beiersdorfer praised Shahdol's Vicharpur village, also referred to as "mini Brazil", calling the village's passion for the game "extraordinary" and its young football players a symbol of India's growing potential in the sport.

“The passion, energy, and joy with which children here play football is truly remarkable. They have the ability to lead the country in the future,” Beiersdorfer said, describing the village’s footballing culture as “no less than that of any major football nation.”

The seasoned coach, who arrived in Shahdol on Sunday night, kept a pledge he made to the young players of Vicharpur during their training session in Germany last month: he would go to their homes, get to know their families, and observe directly how their culture shapes them.
