Assam's Apurna receives national call up for friendlies in Jordan and Uzbekistan
Indian professional footballer Apurna Narzary from Assam, who recently impressively led the national side in the AFC U-20 Asian Cup Qualifiers Round 1 in Vietnam, has received a call to the senior team.
She will be part of the squad for the friendly matches in Jordan and Uzbekistan.
Apurna, who hails from the remote village of Khagrabari in Kokrajhar district under the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) fired three goals in three outings in the Vietnam event, thus paving her way to the Blue Tigresses’ dressing room, reports East Mojo.
“This is the moment I was waiting for….getting back into the national side is a dream come true moment for me. Having said that, the responsibilities also get bigger once you are representing your country at the highest level,” the 19-year-old told EastMojo.
