Sabyasachi Dasgupta (Anchor of Samachar Darpan News Channel):- Today, at a Press Conference, our honourable Sports Minister, Shri Sachin Tendulkar said, ‘All the Football Stadiums in India have been modernized as per FIFA norms. All the Football stadiums are ready for World Cup matches.’  On the other hand, our honourable Home Minister, Shri Gurveer Ghatak said, ‘Some security lapses have been tightened up. More Security Personnel are to be deployed in and around all the Football Stadiums.’

Rajannya Sil (Anchor of Samachar Darpan News Channel):- The inauguration ceremony of FIFA World Cup 2034 will be held at Yuva Bharati Krirangan Stadium of Kolkata. Shri Saurav Ganguly, the honourable Sports Minister of Bangabhoomi (New name of West Bengal State) is of the opinion, ‘India will create a record on 18^th June 2034 because no other Inauguration Ceremony of any FIFA World Cup has ever happened in front of 1.5 lakhs spectators. Yes! You better write it down in a piece of paper. The modern Saltlake Stadium of India is having the seating arrangements for 1.5 lakhs spectators and that too with VIP Boxes, A/C Lounges and two Commentary Houses. We have kept 10000 tickets reserved for online booking for foreigners. I am hopeful that Saltlake Stadium will be a packed stadium on that day. At any entrance of the Saltlake Stadium, after showing the ticket to the Stadium Personnel, he/she will get a small bowl of Mishti Doi for free of cost but he/she cannot take that bowl inside the Stadium. The Football Fever begins. Kolkata welcomes all the Football Lovers Worldwide.’

*******************************************************

Darsheel Safary (Anchor of FIFA Inauguration Ceremony):- Ladies and Gentlemen. Today, on this Special Super Sunday of 18^th June 2034, we are here in Yuva Bharati Krirangan Stadium of Kolkata. Let me remind you again, this is not Eden Gardens, the Mecca of Cricket. This is Yuva Bharati Krirangan, the Gangotri of Indian Football. Look at the cracking atmosphere here. 1.5 lakhs Spectators are just waiting to see the Inauguration Ceremony of FIFA World Cup 2034. The candle lights have been lit up by Shri Swadesh Sarkar, the honourable Chief Minister of Bangabhoomi after a brief worship of the Football as per Hindu rituals. The name of the Football for FIFA World Cup 2034 is ‘Aryanamah’.

Rosalind Reynolds (Anchor of FIFA Inauguration Ceremony):- Dr. Prabhu Pavani Pran, the honourable President of India; Shri Biswaranjan Biswas, the honourable Prime Minister of India will give a brief speech and then the Inauguration Program will start.

*******************************************************

Partho Gupte (Anchor of FIFA Inauguration Ceremony):- Speeches are over now. It’s time for party. See the laser rays all around. Oh! Marvellous laser shows. All the teams have started their parade. Indian Football Squad is also parading now, though all the players are not wearing the Saffron-Sky Blue coloured combination Indian Jersey right now. They are all wearing blazers. Aah! Hear those sounds of Mexican Music. The Aztecs Musical Band is just too good. The Iceland Dance Troupe is showing their acrobatic skills too.

Rosalind Reynolds (Anchor of FIFA Inauguration Ceremony):- Look there! That’s the Fire Power of Uganda. Deadly African men are playing with Fire Rings. Can you hear the roar at the stadium? That has to be; because A.R.Rehman is playing his musical instrument along with Shivamani, the drummer.

Darsheel Safary (Anchor of FIFA Inauguration Ceremony):- Mahie Darjiwala is now rocking the stage with her excellent classical dancing with the Fusion Music of ‘BHARAT BOYZ’, a famous Indian Musical Band worldwide. Ooh! Now, Sarita, the daughter of Shakira is going to sing a song. Let us hear the song.

******************************************************

Sarita:- ‘In the dark nights of life, when the darkness of life dominates,

               don’t let your nerves to go black out, try to overcome those dark shades.

               Who the hell has told you not to fight?

               Why are you so shy to start the race as a Dark Knight?

               Life is like a Football Tournament, full of light and darkness,

     Sometimes, strong pillars of failures help you to construct manhattans of success.

               Wake up now, stand up now, put on your armour and swing your weapons,

               Think like Champions, Act like Champions, Fight like Champions.

               Oo la la la oo, be the Champions.’

*******************************************************

Partho Gupte (Anchor of FIFA Inauguration Ceremony):- Oh! That was just mind-blowing. I am falling in love with Sarita.

Rosalind Reynolds (Anchor of FIFA Inauguration Ceremony):- Boyz! After the foreign sauce, it’s time to taste the desi chutney. Sukhi Singh, the son of Honey Singh is going to sing a new hit song. Let’s hear it out.

******************************************************

Sukhi Singh:- ‘Kya hain baba, breaking news?

                         Na hona bhai tum confuse.

                         Gali gali mein shorh hain bhaiye

                         Baccho ko toh football hee chaiye.

                         Football gusha goal post ke andar

                         Kisne maara goal? Mast kalandar, mast kalandar,

                         Jo hee jeete, wahi Sikandar.

                         Bharat khelega World Cup Football,

                        Oye pappe! Three Cheers for Indian Football!

                       Yehi hain baba, breaking news

                       Kar diya sab ka dil kush.’

Rajanikanth Modi:- USA played third class football, but still managed to do it 1-1 with Germany. Germany is bit unlucky to give away one penalty chance to USA. Anyway, tomorrow we will start our journey towards Panaji.

Sunil Chetri:- Yeah! Our boys need to get accustomed to the condition of Vasco da Gama Football Stadium before the match against Brazil on 22^nd June 2034 (Thursday) at 4 PM at that ground only.
