“New Super League aims to revive football passion in Kerala” A new football tournament named Super League Kerala is all set to kick off next month with the goal of reigniting people's love for the beautiful game in the state. Styled on the popular and ISL formats, the league will feature 6 franchises battling it out over 45 days across major cities in Kerala. What's unique about this league is the global talent that has been roped in.
Players from Brazil, Spain and other football hotbeds will be seen showcasing their skills for different teams. For example, winger Sergio Barboza who has plied his trade in obscure leagues is expected to excite fans with his tricks for the Malappuram FC team. With stars from abroad and attention-grabbing franchise owners from the film and , the buzz around the league is growing by the day.
Franchise teams have been busy promoting through social media and flashy promos at grounds. Trial sessions saw huge turnouts as young talents hope to make the grade. Strict player rules also aim to prioritize local players and youth.
There is hope that this well-organized league can help address the decline in football over the years in Kerala which used to be a nursery for the sport. With regular matches and exposure, it may attract more kids to play instead of just watching. If run successfully over time, Super League Kerala could eventually enhance infrastructure and help Kerala regain its lost glory on the football map.
Only consistent efforts over seasons can fulfill its potential of making the state a football powerhouse again..
