Premier Futsal is back for season 2
Despite not being recognized by the Indian Football board AIFF, Premier Futsal will be back for the second innings this year
Premier Futsal, the world’s most watched domestic futsal league in the world was launched in India’s capital, New Delhi, on Thursday, 9th March. This year the league will witness a variety of changes from its first season, the major ones being an increase in the number of match days from 8 to 14 and venues from 2 to 3.
The league has brought some of the biggest names in world football to the Indian shores from Figo himself to Ryan Giggs, Falcao and Ronaldinho. India cricket captain Virat Kohli too has been part of the league as brand ambassador. While AIFF may have disbarred the league, they have also received support from various other quarters including sports minister Vijay Goel who tweeted, “With #football legends @LuisFigo,Ryan Giggs & #futsal sensation Falco who are in #India to promote futsal. Would love to extend my support,”

Premier Futsal Management team said, “Premier Futsal is a privately organised tournament and is structured in a format like that of Rugby 7s and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and therefore, we don’t feel there is any conflict with the federation. This tournament draws from the vision of our Honourable Prime Minister which calls for innovation and entrepreneurship, supporting the development of skill-set of the youth of the country.”
“Premier Futsal brings together a mix of ex-football superstars and current Futsal players and the evocative concept currently places us as the biggest Futsal league in the world in terms of viewership and reach. With our Launch Pad initiative, we seek to develop youth engagement in sports and community building through the inclusion of home-grown players.”
Season one of Premier Futsal was watched by over 61 million people worldwide. The tournament was broadcast throughout the United Kingdom, Europe, South America, South-East Asia and the Middle East.
