The hosting of high level football matches plays a big role in the revival and promotion of a sport, and accordingly, the revival of the Rovers Cup in a much bigger and grander avatar is one of the key milestones in the partnership between WIFA and SAPL.
The120-year tournament for the Rovers Cup will be played on the artificial turf of the all-new Cooperage Stadium in 2013, between July 27th to August 11th 2013 and will involve the top teams from the I-League and foreign teams, offering prize money of Rs 1 crore.
All the major players are in place and a grand stage is being prepared to facilitate the development of football on a large scale. This project has been well researched and provided for, but for it to succeed it needs the support of each and every well wisher of the sport in the state.
Let’s all get together to herald the revival and development of football!
