It was created last week by someone based in Queensland, Australia... according to his twitter he was in Australia at the time of the article being created... Sunshine Coast is in Queensland.
Meanwhile, after the article was created, a user who has only ever edited Nirav's page added the links to his facebook, twitter, and Diya Group.
So ya, not sure at all how he is eligible for a wikipedia page, whether he has a connection to IMG-Reliance, or anything.
So is there a team about to come up in Gujarat? I mean, we do have "Transtadia" coming up in Ahmedabad and perhaps Sardar Patel Stadium as a temporary venue? But then what about Bengaluru FC, East Bengal, and Mohun Bagan? Will the two Kolkata sides be shafted or will they be bought in along with BFC, keep ATK, and add Gujarat as a 12th team?
I know that you guys will lol at this. But I would love to have an Isl team from my home state. Currently football following is non existent here. But so was kabbadi, if kabbadi world cup can be success then why not football. Trans stadia is really good stadium and is located in the heart of city. It can used as home stadium. Also gujarat is home of many industrialists who can invest and MOTABHAI is also from here
Transstadia is almost there, , might need another six months . The capacity IS 20k.If they can do a BFC , getting 5-6k per game is realistic considering the location of the stadium.
I'm more hopeful about Hyd. They have a ready football-literate population, a good tradition and some old infrastructure (though need sprucing up). Ahmedabad on the other hand needs that crowd, that ambience plus have to build infra from scratch.
But why are we discussing this? IMG-R have more important issues to ponder than expansion of the league, isn't it.

How old is his wikipedia profile?

Also ...he seems to be hedging on George Weah becoming a future President of Liberia and then reaping the rewards....
The football is just a sideshow to gain entry & popularity for both...
Call it an inexpensive bribe
Hyderabad? I mean, that should be part of the plan but I hope there is no rush for expansion here.

This article too has a hint about a new ISL franchise
