Gujarat Super League is set to make history🤩⚽
The Gujarat Super League (GSL) is set to make history as the first-ever franchise-based football league in Gujarat. Spearheaded by the Gujarat State Football Association (GSFA) under the esteemed guidance of Shri Parimal Nathwani, the league has received approval from the All India Football Association (AIFF), marking a significant milestone in the state’s sporting journey.
The GSL promises an electrifying competition featuring six teams battling it out in 15 thrilling matches, culminating in an epic final showdown. This innovative league aims to not only elevate the standard of football in Gujarat but also provide a platform for local talent to shine on a national stage.
The franchises of the GSL boast illustrious owners who are stalwarts in their respective fields:
Alkesh Patel : Loyal Equipments Limited
Kamlesh Gohil : K and D Communication Ltd
Prashant Sanghvi : Ratnamani Metals and Tubes Ltd
Sahil Patel : Viva Steel Pvt Ltd
Manish Shah & : True Value Group Suhrudbhai Patel
Kushal N. Patel : Axita Cotton Limited
In a significant move towards nurturing local talent, the GSL initiative extends financial support to players. The selection process prioritizes individuals who have showcased their prowess in prestigious tournaments such as the GSFA Reliance Cup Inter District Football Tournament for Senior Men and the GSFA Senior Club Championship. Preference is given to those who have excelled in both competitions, with a total of 84 plus substitute players from Gujarat set to be scouted for the six teams participating in the GSL.
Furthermore, 36 non-Gujarat registered players from 12 teams who distinguished themselves in the final round of the 77th Santosh Trophy in Arunachal Pradesh will also grace the GSL, adding depth and diversity to the league’s talent pool.
