New Delhi : The inaugural I-League football has caught Sunil Bharti Mittal’s eye. The billionaire businessman with huge interests in telecom sector announced plans to invest to the tune of Rs. One billion in Indian football, and then let slip that he was also ‘interested’ in the I-League.
During the course of the press conference, Mittal mentioned, “Something which I am looking forward to is the I-League.”
The I-League is India’s professional league and is in its first year. Currently 10 teams are playing against one another on a home-and-away basis in the league, which is now sponsored by the Oil and Natural Gas Commission (ONGC).
Sources say Mittal may even outbid the ONGC for future title-rights to the I-League.
