Dutta, a football nut not known to delegate

December 14, 2025

With the GOAT India Tour headlined by Lionel Messi, Satadru Dutta may have flown too close to the sun but this wasn't the first mismanaged tour on his watch.

- Dhiman Sarkar

In 2012, a match involving a string of World Cup winning footballers from Brazil and Colombian goalkeeper Jose Rene Higuita, famous for his scorpion kicks, ran into trouble.

Then joint-director of a different sports management company, Dutta had promised a match between a Sports Ministers XI and a Brazilian Masters XI at Salt Lake stadium. Leander Paes was one of the stars in the minister's XI.

Along with his new teammates, Paes warmed up at the Salt Lake stadium but the other team did not show up for nearly one hour after the scheduled kickoff.
