\u201cMy inspiration to play football came in school. I was in 7th grade when I saw boys in the school play football and that\u2019s when I along would a few friends requested our teachers to introduce us to the game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ashalata has enjoyed an impressive year in 2019 as besides winning the 2019 SAFF Championship title, the 26 year also led India to the Olympic 2020 Qualifiers Round 2. In the interview, Ashalata thanked everyone who has helped her in her journey so far. \u201cI would like to thank my uncle who has been instrumental in my success so far, he didn\u2019t only sponsor my kits but also gave me studs to play.\u201d Added Ashalata Devi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
