Leaders from Jammu and Kashmir Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) honored the champions of the 7th Rollball World Cup in a ceremony held at the BJP Headquarters in Jammu. This event celebrated the growing prominence of Rollball, an indoor sport that uniquely combines roller skating, basketball, and handball.

Event Highlights

Sat Sharma CA, President of BJP Jammu and Kashmir and Rajya Sabha MP, along with BJP J&K Vice President Priya Sethi, and leaders Anita Gandotra and Sunita Sareen, felicitated the world cup winners. The ceremony recognized the exceptional performance of teams and individual players who competed in the fast-growing sport on the global stage.

Key Details of the 7th Rollball World Cup

• Teams: 12 international teams competed over two weeks.
• Final Match: Team India defeated Team Denmark with a score of 38-29.
• Top Performers: India’s captain scored 12 goals, and the goalkeeper maintained a save percentage of 79%.
• Records: The tournament achieved new milestones in attendance and viewership.
• India’s Achievement: This was India’s second World Cup title since Rollball’s inception.

Reactions from the Ceremony

1. Sat Sharma CA: Praised the athletes for their talent and discipline, emphasizing the honor they brought to Jammu and Kashmir and India.
2. Priya Sethi: Highlighted the importance of recognizing sports achievements to inspire youth and bring community pride.
3. Team India Captain: Expressed gratitude for the recognition and motivation to continue promoting and excelling in Rollball.

Future Plans

The felicitation aligns with efforts to promote lesser-known sports like Rollball within Jammu and Kashmir. With the next World Cup set for late 2027 in Europe, Team India is already preparing to defend its title. Additionally, local sports authorities aim to improve training programs and infrastructure to nurture emerging talent at the grassroots level.
