Sporthood invites participation from the students in Kochi to their first edition of Kochi Kids League. The League will feature 8 teams owned by 8 prominent business houses in the city representing the various regions of Kochi. The league will start on 11th January 2020 at Sporthood Edapally. KKL will last a month with matches being played exclusively on weekends.
The Kochi Kids League is inspired by the Baby league concept of the All India Football Federation. It was introduced to build a tough mentality and competitive mindset among developing athletes to help them face the challenges that await them in the future. And, the league also hopes to identify the best budding footballers from the city and provide them with competitive match exposure.
