Men on a mission.
For Mongia, Jaffer, Bangar, Ratra and Yohannan,
five men on a mission, opportunities are bound to
surface on a long tour. They have to open the door
of possibilities and keep the stormy winds and the
dark clouds away... and then there would only be
sunshine.

GEARING UP FOR THE MEGA-EVENT

NOTHING stirs the passions of a greater number of sportslovers around the world than does the quadrennial World Cup of football. And in a few weeks' time, the world of sport's most popular event will arrive in Asia for the first time as Japan and Korea play host to the Cup that matters.
As in the past, The Sportstar will provide its readers comprehensive coverage of the month-long championship which kicks off on May 31. But, more importantly, we have planned to offer the readers a glittering array of lead-up features spread over five special Countdown sections starting from the issue dated April 27. The Countdown pull-out will contain articles that focus on the past as well as on the upcoming event and will also carry profiles of legends and reviews of all the World Cups held so far. And the biggest treat for the readers will come in the form of the World Cup Bumper issue dated June 1... but more on that later. Right now, begin your own countdown for the April 27 issue.
