India football fans were mostly scattered, being widely based in West Bengal, North-East India, Goa, and Kerala. Other than matches at the Asian Games, Nehru Cup, or SAFF Championship, showed up in small numbers when the team played, and fans of different clubs used to support the team in their respective local venues. In 2017, the Blue Pilgrims were established as the first organised fan club for the national team. The Blue Pilgrims formed with a motive to support the national team and the U-17 team during the historic 2017 U17 World Cup, India's first-ever FIFA competition participation. with some 300 fans thousands, fans from different regions and with different allegiances coming together the Blue Tigers. They call themselves the devotees of the Blue Tigers, and their motto is to support India national football teams of all genders and ages, wherever they play.For dedication, they have been called the "12th man" of the team. The Blue Pilgrims's most common chants are: "Oh India!", "In Unity we stand", "Oh India we stand for you!", and "Vande Mataram". Their sports anthems are "Oh when the blues go marching in, I wanna be in that number!" and "Hum honge kaamyab" ("We Shall Overcome"). Since formation, the Blue Pilgrims celebrate after every match with the Viking clap together with national team members. Fans of the India national football team display the country's tricolour national flag and also wear blue jerseys in solidarity with the team. They used to display their banner Blue Pilgrims along with "Inquilab-e-Indian football" ("Revolution of Indian football") and often shouted their common slogan, "We love you, wherever you go, we follow!". On 2 June 2018, then-team captain Sunil Chhetri posted a video on social media urging the fans to come out at Mumbai to support the team after a poor crowd appearance of only 2,569 at a match against Chinese Taipei in the 2018 Intercontinental Cup. India achieved a significant victory in that match, winning by 5−0 with Chhetri scoring a hat-trick, but few present to celebrate. Responding to the captain's call, the Blue Pilgrims and football supporters made sure that the stadiums were full during the next few matches. In the final of that tournament, the Blue Pilgrims displayed 30 ft (9.1 m) tall 3D tifo of a Blue Tiger, the first ever in the team's history. |
