Its official! Patrick Raman Sisupalan has joined Viva Kerala. After the gossips floating around relating the british player signing for Viva Kerala, Viva officials today confirmed that the 24 yr old has joined the Kerala side from the London based futsal club FC White Bear.
Viva Kerala is to start their training at FACT grounds in Kochi on 1st of July. With Patrick tipped to be playing as a midfielder, Viva would look at closing the gap left by some of its key players who moved out.
Being the only club from south India, Viva has high expectations to perform this year and try not to get relegated. Teams like Chirag United and Pune FC making some big signings will make it even tougher for Viva Kerala who are still on lookout for Sponsors and funding.
