A 2017 ESPN article reads, “X manager Paulo Fonseca was thrilled following his team's
2-1 win over Manchester City that booked their passage to the Round of 16 in the
Champions League.”
How thrilled you ask? Well not only did the Portuguese manager call it “the most joyful
press conference of his career,” he turned up to the post match meeting with journalists
dressed as the swashbuckling fictional character Y to live up to a promise he made to his
team if they topped Napoli and Feyenoord to advance.

football team. The team, formed by an NGO called Ya-All (Yawol,
Manipuri for ‘revolution’), comprises 14 players, mostly college students,
passionate about the game.
● This spirited squad was formed by Sadam Hanjabam when he attended
the sporting events held in tandem with Manipur’s annual five-day-long
Yaoshang festival in 2018 and noticed the locals mechanically segregating
themselves into two rigid rows of male and female players.
● Their first friendlies were an out-and-out success which awarded
members of the X community an opportunity to present themselves in
public without the fear of being ridiculed.
What am I talking about?

● It is financed by donations by members as well as by the sale of self-produced articles.
Similar to other Ultra-groups in Europe, they oppose the commercialisation of football.
● They are well-known for welcoming opponents with intense hostility, which earns them
a notorious reputation. Their ‘Welcome to Hell’ tifos are well known.

“Children have always been my inspiration. I always saw them in the streets or
in a park trying out bicycle kicks, and I told them it would be good to do it in
reverse. And that day in England, I was given the ball that I had been waiting
for years!” – X

● From Luis Suarez to Ruud van Nistelrooy, X played alongside some great
strikers in his career. But his greatest partner in crime was the Y.
● Alongside the maddening drone of vuvuzelas, the Y quickly became one of the
biggest talking points of the 2010 World Cup. Players from all over the world
were increasingly frustrated as their passes went astray and their free kicks
disappeared into Row Z.
● While most players were busy throwing their toys out of the pram and
complaining in the media, X was relaxing at his national team’s base camp as
he was one step ahead of everybody else.
● X spent months taming and mastering the Y, working tirelessly until he was
able to bring it under his spell, before the World Cup.
