Power Outage Plagued IFL Match Between India and Lebanon at Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar!
On Thursday night, the International Football League (IFL) match between India and Lebanon witnessed unexpected power disruptions at Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar. At halftime, power went out in the dressing room, VVIP gallery, officials’ box, and media centre of the stadium. This forced players from both sides to remain on the field during halftime and begin the second half of the match from there itself.
Things took an even stranger turn when one of the floodlight towers went out in the middle of second half, creating a confusing situation for players and spectators alike. The stadium’s electricians were quick to respond, restoring power within minutes. After some hectic efforts by everyone involved, the game resumed soon after.
Media personnel present at the stadium said that this was one of the strangest incidents to occur during a football match in recent memory. They also said that the power disruptions were highly embarrassing for the organizers, who failed to deliver an uninterrupted game experience to the fans and players alike. The IFL management is yet to comment on the incident, though some reports suggest that they are investigating the cause of the power outage.
The match ended with India winning 1-0, thanks to a goal from star striker Shikhar Sharma in the 79th minute. Despite the disruptions, fans and players were in good spirits throughout the match and celebrated India’s victory enthusiastically at full time.
Overall, it was an eventful night at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar as fans witnessed a thrilling match and experienced an unexpected power outage during the game.
