When Head Coach Maymol Rocky informed Apurna Narzary that she would lead the National Team in the AFC U-20 Asian Cup Qualifiers Round 1 in Vietnam, the girl from Assam’s Kokrajhar district stayed speechless for a minute.
“For a few seconds, I could not believe my ears. It was a huge honour for me. I felt proud when Maymol madam told me about my appointment. At the same time, the first thing that came to my mind was that it was a big responsibility and we should make every effort to qualify for the next round,” Apurna said.
