During a sevens football match in Thirurangadi, a crowd of disappointed spectators pushed and broke the gate to the field, causing chaos. The incident took place at Thirurangadi Sports Academy during a match organized at Tirurangadi Govt. High School grounds. Luckily, no one was injured in the incident.

The chaos ensued after tickets for the quarter-final match of the All India Sevens football tournament between BASE Perumbavoor and FIFA Mancheri sold out quickly, leaving hundreds of fans without access to the game. The organizers had locked the gate to the stadium as the gallery was full, leaving the disappointed fans outside. However, just before the start of the game, the frustrated fans pushed open the gate and entered the stadium.

In the match, Base Perumbavoor defeated FIFA Mancheri by three goals and secured a spot in the semi-finals. The incident highlights the fervent enthusiasm and passion for the sport in the region, but also the need for better crowd management and ticketing systems to prevent such chaotic situations in the future.
