Bala Devi: The woman making Indian football history
Ngangom Bala Devi became the first Indian woman pro-footballer when she signed an 18-month deal with the Scottish club, Rangers FC. BBC Marathi's Janhavee Moole spoke to the forward about her journey so far and what lies ahead.
Bala Devi, India's top scorer and a former captain of the national women's football team, is gearing up for a fresh challenge on the pitch.
"I want to make India proud," the 29-year-old forward told the BBC, speaking through her manager.
She says that although she has been playing for India since she was 15, she still treats every match as if it's her first. And she hopes that her time at Rangers will "motivate the next generation of [Indian] players".
