Gokulam FC (Kerala) is in talks with AIFF for a Direct Entry in I-League...might end up in League 2 next season....FC Kerala also keen to play League 2(2nd Division as of Now)....
Gokulam FC home ground - Malappuram Sports Council Stadium, Manjeri capacity - 25000
FC Kerala home ground - Thrissur Municipal Corporation stadium capacity - 15000
Quartz FC tried for 2nd Division last year but the entry rejected because they didn't play Kerala Premier League last year.Their Home ground is EMS Stadium,Kozhikkode
IMG Worldwide, who have been sold to new owners, are pulling the plug on this project (as expected). In fact, I've been waiting for the effects to trickle down to India. Still, I'd say to not get your hopes too high as the IMG's Indian arm has been brought by RIL
Paid interview to put a positive spin on his job....who authorised him to say about indian football calendar....? He should be allowed to speak on the circus period.
How can a private CEO working for a private company who has no connection to national federation decide league structure and future of football in the country. Isn't this a private intervention in a FA ? FIFA should take action.
There is a line in this interview "If it has to happen this year" !!!! PP has also said that if merger happens, it happens. They have to merge it, not vice versa. Remember, this controversial ex-IPL guy Sundar Raman is Reliance Sports personnel, not AIFF and his proposal means nothing to AFC or FIFA. The ball is in AIFF's court. He can propose stars and moon. Lets wait for AIFF to say what they wish to propose for next year.
