Palakkad, or Palghat as it were known earlier, used to hold many football tournaments like the Fed Cup and the Santosh Trophy, pre-NFL era. At full house too. Without doubt, there was a good football culture there (and hopefully still existing now).
It is PT Usha land, so probably good athletics culture too.
You are wrong ... @Deb_Ban , P.T.Usha is from Calicut (now kozhikode). Apart from santhosh trophy in 1991 i dont think there is any major tournament held there. Not even a single proper football ground or stadium as per my knowledge.
