Ponda, Goa | 1st October 2025 – The energy at Ponda Sports Complex soared today as the Divyang Cricket Championship was officially inaugurated, kicking off the much-anticipated pre-events for the International Purple Fest Goa 2025. A tribute to ability, resilience, and community spirit, this inclusive sporting event sets the tone for what promises to be the most impactful edition of the Purple Fest yet.
Cricket, long cherished in India, took on a new meaning today — one that transcends boundaries and showcases how sports can empower people of all abilities. The event welcomed para-athletes and divyang (persons with disabilities) cricketers from across regions, drawing attention to the importance of accessibility and equal opportunity in sports.
The Purple Fest has always stood for inclusion, dignity, and visibility — and this cricket championship represents all of that and more. The players, representing courage and excellence, took to the pitch not just to compete, but to inspire. Their performances were met with cheers from an enthusiastic crowd, including families, community members, and supporters of the larger disability rights movement.
This event is not just a game; it’s a statement — that inclusion in sport is not just possible, it’s essential. As we count down to Purple Fest Goa 2025, the Divyang Cricket Championship reminds us of the extraordinary things that happen when accessibility meets opportunity.
The match may have started in Ponda, but its impact is already echoing far beyond the field.
