For Kolkata’s football fans, Brazil was love before first sight

Kolkata's enduring love for Brazilian football runs deep, rooted in a historical bond that dates back decades. The Brazilian national team, currently holding the No. 6 spot globally, will face India this Saturday. This connection blossomed during India's footballing renaissance in the 1950s and 1960s, where former players fondly recall the impact of Brazilian greats on their own journeys.
