This initiative is the first of its kind in football in the country
KOLKATA: Mohun Bagan named a new partner, Sudidha Infoserve, to spruce up the ticket distribution for its matches in the upcoming I-League.
Explaining this initiative as a first of its kind in football in the country, the Mohun Bagan Secretary, Anjan Mitra, said the tie-up with a firm specialising in service provision is aimed at brining more professionalism in the sport.
“With hardly had a handful of counters operating previously, people had to queue up for hours on end to get a ticket to see their favourite team play. With 90 counters of Suvidha across the City, we are trying to make ticket-buying more easy and comfortable for our fans,” he said.
The I-League rules stipulate that the home side will get 90 per cent of the gate money while the local organising committee gets the remaining 10 per cent. Mohun Bagan’s Moroccan coach, Karim Bencherifa, said Indian football needs to be more professionalism and this initiative by the club is a step in the right direction.
Meanwhile, East Bengal signed Ghanaian Yusif Yakubu on Tuesday as its second foreigner ahead of the I-league opener against Chirag United on September 26.
Brazilian Edmilson Marques is the other foreigner in the side.
