The German football team Bayern Munich has become one of the first major European clubs to play in India, at a match in the eastern city of Calcutta.
Organisers say 120,000 spectators watched them take on local side Mohan Bagan at the Salt Lake Stadium.
Their visit comes at a time when the sport is becoming increasingly popular in a country which is cricket crazy.
The friendly was also the farewell game for German football legend Oliver Kahn, who retires after 22 years.
