By AFPMore by this AuthorNEW DELHIIndia's football international match against Kenya on Monday sold out in hours following captain Sunil Chhetri's emotional plea for fans to support the team after barely 2,500 people turned up to watch them play last week. Every seat in the 15,000-capacity Mumbai Football Arena was quickly sold with one fan buying more than 1,000 tickets for the Intercontinental Cup game. Chhetri's plea came after India thrashed Taiwan 5-0 in front of just 2,569 people in the Mumbai stadium on Friday. But on Monday, the website selling tickets for the four-nation tournament showed 'Sold Out' for the match against Kenya. Lotia, an ardent football fan, wrote on Twitter.
