In a landmark moment for Indian football, former Australian winger Ryan Williams has officially become an Indian citizen, marking a first step in the AIFF’s efforts to include Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) in the national football setup. The ceremonial handover of his Indian passport was done by Bengaluru FC teammate and Indian football icon Sunil Chhetri, in a playful moment that quickly went viral among fans.

Before handing over the passport, Chhetri put Williams through a mini-quiz on Indian street food and pop culture. Williams answered with ease and jokingly declared himself “one of their own,” bringing smiles and a sense of celebration to the Bengaluru FC camp.
