Overview

[edit | edit source]

The India team arrived in Rangoon on 22 October 1953 and the Pakistan side, a week before. The Indian Express described the Aung San Stadium, where all matches were to be played, as having "concrete and semi permanent stands all around the ground" with a capacity of 30,000. The rules of the tournament had not made wearing boots mandatory.[4] Four of India's players — Sailen Manna, Ahmed Khan, Pansanttom Venkatesh and M. Thangaraj (in the second half) — played bare-footed against Pakistan in the tournament's first game, on 23 October.[5]
