A sporting event named 'Sikh Football Cup' will be organised in Punjab from November 23 to December 7 as part of the Sikhism founder Guru Nanak Dev's 550th birth anniversary celebrations.
The event will be organised by Khalsa Football Club, a non-profit sports organisation, in association with the Global Sikh Sports Federation, said club's president Harjeet Singh Grewal.
It will be held under FIFA rules in various districts of Punjab, he added.
"Our prime motive is to encourage Punjabi youths to engage in sports, he said in a release here.
