Prithviraj Sukumaran Acquires Stake in Kochi FC for Super League Kerala

Actor Prithviraj Sukumaran and his wife Supriya Menon have acquired a significant stake in Kochi FC, a team that will participate in the inaugural Super League Kerala. The league is set to commence in late August, and the Kochi team, formerly known as Kochi Pipers FC, has been rebranded as Kochi FC.

Prithviraj expressed his optimism that the league's inaugural season would significantly boost football activities at both the professional and grassroots levels, creating opportunities for talented and aspiring players. Mathew Joseph, the Super League's CEO, highlighted that Prithviraj's involvement would bring a unique fusion of entertainment and sports to Kerala during the 60-day football extravaganza.

In addition to Prithviraj and Supriya, several other individuals have joined the Kochi FC ownership group. Praveesh Kuzhipally and Shameem Backer, former co-owners of the Kannur team, have become co-owners of Kochi FC alongside Nasly Mohammed and Mohammed Shyjal.

The Super League Kerala is a six-team competition that aims to promote football in the state. The league will feature teams from various regions of Kerala, including Kochi, Kannur, Kozhikode, Malappuram, Thiruvananthapuram, and Thrissur. The tournament will provide a platform for local players to showcase their skills and compete against top-quality opposition.

Prithviraj's involvement in Kochi FC is expected to generate significant interest in the Super League Kerala. The actor's vast fan base and his passion for football are likely to attract a large following for the team. The league is also expected to benefit from the expertise and resources of the new owners, who have a proven track record in sports management.

The inaugural season of the Super League Kerala promises to be an exciting and competitive affair. With the involvement of talented players, experienced coaches, and passionate owners, the league is poised to make a significant contribution to the development of football in Kerala.
