Brazilian football legend Cafu will visit Darjeeling on September 6 to lay the foundation stone for the proposed Sidra Hills Sports & Wellness Resort and launch two futsal teams. The 2002 World Cup-winning Brazil captain will inaugurate the project, part of Arya Tea Garden’s tourism development plan, virtually from Gorkha Stadium in Lebong. The resort is planned on the Arya tea estate, around 10km from Darjeeling town. Cafu will also launch Darjeeling Warriors FC and North Bengal Fighters FC, with a match planned between the new teams. Several state ministers are expected to attend the programme.
