    Reyaur jerseys were so cheap that a lot of fans actually bought it. That shows that if it is cheap, there are buyers. Big guns like Puma, Adidas, etc. can't go that low, hence will fail in merchandise sale.

    Some of the world’s largest companies have recently made the state of Odisha their new home, and many more are earmarked to follow suit. Raj explains, “The exciting prospect of creating and harnessing mutually beneficial relationships with some of the world’s biggest organisations will not only benefit the football club which has a potential fanbase of 47 million people, but will fund community led projects, increase employment and help build a state-wide infrastructure conducive for future expansion and economic growth through national and international investment.

    “I am really looking forward to settling into my new role and working with the staff at Odisha FC across all operations of the business.

    Hopefully, my cultural background and fluency in speaking and understanding Hindi will stand me in good stead."

    Club CEO, Mr. Rohan Sharma expressed his excitement for the hire, “I very much look forward to welcoming Raj to Odisha once it is safe to travel. Raj brings a lot of experience and leadership having been apart of many wonderful and historic clubs in the UK. I feel that he is the right person to help us achieve our lofty ambitions."
