Brazil’s Ronaldinho launches Premier Futsal – Season 2 in Mumbai!

Brazilian legend Ronaldinho was in Mumbai yesterday to launch Premier Futsal – Season 2 which will be played from September 15 to October 1 across Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore with the semifinals and final to be played in Dubai.

At a press conference at the St. Regis hotel in Lower Parel, Mumbai; the organisers informed that like last year Sony Pictures Networks would be the official broadcaster of Premier Futsal with again six city franchises facing each other to lift the coveted trophy.

Ronaldinho, who played only two matches last season due to commitments in Brazil, will return this season to play in Premier Futsal – Season 2 with other star names to be announced ahead of the tournament.

Ronaldinho speaking through a translator said, “I enjoyed and loved playing in India last year and entertaining the audience. I love the food and warmth of Indian people. Premier Futsal has quickly become the biggest futsal event in the world and I am here to support this league in long term and make it a huge success globally.”

“Now with Season 2 of the tournament, we want to break the glass ceiling and set the benchmark for sporting leagues across the world. We want to inspire more and more youngsters to take up the sport and all of our efforts especially the Launch Pad are directed towards bringing in youth closer to the game,” Ronaldinho added.

With the inaugural Premier Futsal tournament last being held in Chennai and Goa, now its shifting to Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore with the finals in Dubai, its impact should be much much higher.
