Two weeks after its executive committee decided not to permit foreign players in State competitions, the All India Football Federation has made a special exemption for the new Kerala Super League which will kick-off in November.
Foreign players will be now allowed to play in the KSL and it has come as a huge relief for Scoreline, the company which has won the rights from the Kerala Football Association to organise the eight-team league.
“Yes, they have been given an exemption because of the prior commercial deal they have signed to start the Kerala Super League. We don’t want them to rescind an agreement made earlier and we don’t want to jeopardise any commercial deal,” Shaji Prabhakaran, the secretary general of the AIFF, told The Hindu on Thursday evening.
