“Indeed it is a great step forward. We know that not everyone in the country can’t afford to fork out for paid channels and this will add more to the sport in the country and people love to watch high grade soccer and high class soccer”

Kumar adds being able to view top class football will be highly watched by young footballer’s which targets their grassroots base for quicker learning.
