EAT. SLEEP. FIFA. REPEAT.

Great ideas are not born out of conferences and revolutions. All it needs is a simple conversation and crazy friends. One such idea struck Kannan and Srini- the two always enthusiastic KCTians. Both of them have one quality in common. They believe in following their dreams and passion. The darkness of the dawn hinted them the idea of a musical video. A video which is of not a regular genre, yet one that will have an expanded reach. The natural choice was the pulse of today ‘FOOTBALL’.

The team of two soon grew bigger with KCT’s football team members joining them. Aaqil M. Rahman, one of the members when asked says,” This is one chance to prove that the beautiful game is still alive in Coimbatore”.  The KYFC (Kauvundapalayam Youth Football Club) another team of football adherents involved themselves. A few friends agreed to join though they weren’t football admirers. Mr. Bharathwaj Murali, the cinematographer is one such person. They soon learnt the basics of the game and one of them told that getting to know the game was fascinating and has been a great experience.

To a few members and many more viewers, football is not just a game. It’s a religion, passion, way of life and adoration. “It is more like a drug that keeps me going” says Tejas, a football devotee from a very young age. With such a vibrant crew, a video as hypnotic as this, is no big a surprise. All they needed was a couple of days for planning, three days for execution and two days for the final editing.

Forgetting the scorching heat and repeated takes, each one contributed their best simply for the love of the game.  KCT’s dancers Srinivasan, Abhilash, Praveen, Sandesh, Karthi, Bharathi and Ashwin were also roped in. Off Road Adventures, an exclusive place for adventure sports supported them with a location for shooting.

With football fever everywhere, this video has created an impact. It is indeed a dedication for the most celebrated sport- football that brings countries across the globe under one stadium. Every frame in the video portrays the rhythm that runs through their heart. The appreciation received has boosted their confidence to greater heights and has encouraged them to create more such videos.

FOOTBALL- FIFA- For the Game. For the World
