Bollywood hunk Ranbir Kapoor, who will be owning the Mumbai
franchise in the inaugural Indian Super League (ISL), told he was looking to
translating his passion for the sport into development activity.
Ranbir has tied up with investment banker Bimal Parekh to
co-own the Mumbai franchise of the eight-city league that will be played during
September-November.
"It is a moment of great pride for me to be a part of
the Indian Super League and to represent the vibrant city of Mumbai .
Football has never been far away from my daily life since childhood, and now as
a partner in the Indian Super League, I am looking forward to translate my
passion into contributing to the growth of the sport," told Ranbir.
Ranbir hoped the grassroots program developed by ISL
promoters IMG-Reliance for the franchise owners will benefit the game.
"I firmly believe in the grassroots and community
development program designed by the league organisers IMG Reliance, to
popularise the game and that's one thing which excited me to be part of this
dream," he told.
