Kerala Sports Council President TP Dasan said that the state needs to revive the old tournaments in order create more opportunities to clubs.

Mr. Dasan mentioned in the function held at BTH Hotel in Kochi that we now have Vision India Schools project jointly organised by KFA, AFC and the local bodies which will boost the football in future. But we need to bring back the old tournaments, may be in the same name or with a new name, in order to create more opportunity for clubs coming up to better their performances and bring back the old glory of Kerala football.
