Commenting on the motive behind Radio City's association, popular Radio City RJ, Ginnie said, "Post Sunil Chhetri's message, I interacted with the Football Federation of India to understand the reasons behind the lack of national support for such an important international tournament. Additionally, I spoke to Sunil Chhetri's father who also empathized with the players on the state of support for a team that represents the country.
We felt a deep sense of responsibility and determination to change this mindset and empower our players with the unparalleled support that they deserve for all the hard work that they put in. I wish the Indian football team the very best in the tournament and we are confident that Radio City's campaign will evoke patriotism amongst all the citizens to whole heartedly support them in the years to come."
