The diary game | EID CELEBRATION IN OUR VILLAGE

Eid means happiness Eid means joy When Eid day comes after waiting for a whole year, everyone, young and old, gets excited and after sacrificing, various games are organized in many areas, one of which is football. Every year, a friendly football match is organized in our area. Married versus unmarried people participate in this game. A festive atmosphere gathers around the field. Almost everyone in our village, young and old, comes to watch the game together. Separate chairs are arranged for the elders. Football is not only a means of entertainment, it also instills a sense of brotherhood with each other. The joy of Eid increases many times through sports.

This game was organized the day after Eid. I started going around five in the afternoon. Those who were small were very happy to come and watch the game.

It is very nice when everyone from the young to the old in the area meets together. In fact, they never meet together without a big program. This game, which is filled after Eid, brings everyone in the area together.

Slowly, married players started coming to the field, and those who were single started making fun of the married players in various ways, saying that married players cannot play, etc., etc. But the married players also made fun of them and said that we can play, but you cannot. At first, it was seen that the number of married players was very small, so they took two or three players from the single players, but later, when the married players started coming more, it was seen that there were many more married players than single players.

Meanwhile, the singles have been practicing their goalkeepers to score goals for a long time, the married ones have not started coming yet, the game is not yet ready to start with the number of people who are coming, 11 people will be taken, but only 5-6 married ones have come. However, if you wait a while, the field will be filled. Many married ones have left home.

The game actually started around six, although we arrived at the field at five. Even after waiting for so long, I never felt bored, in fact, I felt good. It felt like this was a new event, not something to be bored about.

Although last year a TV was awarded as the prize for the game, In contrast to the previous year, this year's event is being held with energy drinks as the prize. Two types of drinks have been brought here, one speed and the other mojo. Those who lose will take mojo and those who win will take speed.

The game is already about to start, the players have started taking positions on the field. 11 players have been taken in each team.

From the beginning of the game, the singles had more ball control than the marrieds. They missed scoring several times, but the singles played more attacking, meaning attacking, the singles tried to score goals for the marrieds a lot of the time, but somehow the marrieds blocked them. The game will be 60 minutes long, 30 minutes each. In the first 30 minutes, the marrieds gave a goal to the unmarried. Then a five-minute break is given. During the next 30 minutes of play, the unmarrieds gave a goal to the marrieds, and the game was 1 vs 1. However, in the end, the game remained draw. Finally, a try breaker was organized. In this, married people can score only two goals out of five shots, while single people can score three goals out of five shots, so single people win.

This picture shows the joy of single people winning. They are enjoying the gifts they deserve. However, married people also played well. Both teams played well, there will be losses and wins in every game. Here too, there are losses and wins, but there is a lot of joy in this loss and victory. No one is bowling or insulting anyone, they are enjoying themselves in their own way.

A short clip of the game.

This football game is not just a part of sports but has become an integral part of our village's Eid celebrations. We want this beautiful event to last for generations.
