Lucknow : The ongoing ‘Fun Ka Sports Champion’ event at Fun Republic Mall has turned the shopping destination into a vibrant sports and wellness hub, drawing hundreds of enthusiastic participants and spectators. From chess boards to basketball hoops, and soon yoga mats, Lucknowites are embracing the spirit of fun, fitness, and friendly competition like never before.
Running from June 8 to June 22, the event has offered an action-packed calendar of sports activities including chess, cricket, basketball, weightlifting, badminton, and table tennis. The initiative has received an overwhelming response, with long queues for game registrations and packed galleries cheering players on.
Among the standout attractions has been the chess zone, where people of all ages—particularly children—have been engrossed in thoughtful moves and silent battles. The enthusiasm around chess, especially from young minds, reflects a growing interest in strategy-based indoor sports among urban audiences.
Adding to the prestige of the event, Priyanka Shaili Mishra, former international women’s cricketer and current Chairperson of UPCA’s Senior Women’s Selection Committee, graced the occasion. As the President of Lucknow’s Women’s Wing, she praised the mall’s effort in bringing sports to the mainstream and engaging the public meaningfully.
