Kerala Football Association’s new Super League plans could run into time trouble
The HinduThe Kerala Football Association can breathe a big sigh of relief after it completed the seventh Ramco Kerala Premier League this week but its plans for a new super league next season is likely to run into time trouble. The KFA has received two bids for its commercial rights — which also requires the bid winner to start a new Super League — for the next 12 years but it is not likely to complete the formalities to get the new league up and running next season, which starts on June 1 this year. So, it may get delayed by one or two months.” Ideally, agreements between the KFA and the bid-winner will have to be completed before the beginning of the new season so that the teams concerned could plan their moves well. If the agreement is not in place before the start of the season, it will be difficult for them to implement everything as per expectations.” One understands that the bids for KFA’s commercial rights have come from within Kerala from some prominent business groups.
