Bengaluru FC plot move to Ahmedabad or Pune due to stadium dispute
Indian Super League team Bengaluru FC will have to move their squad from the southern city only if they do not play at Sri Contrava Stadium next season.
The venue has been the home ground of the Blues for 25 years. However, protests again took place in 27 because track and field athletes trained there because of the field activities of the JSW Group-owned organization. The Karnataka High Court was soon summoned and they ordered an inquiry into which the Blues were allowed to use the place. The investigation deadline falls in mid-October.
The owners of Bengaluru are optimistic about getting favorable judgment which will help them to stay in Kantiraba. But with the new season fast approaching, any venue registration deadline will see them move out of town.
"We have to look at alternatives and two of them are mentioned in Pune and Ahmedabad," the Bengaluru FC chief executive told the scandal in the recession.
"However, we cannot make a decision until we know what is going on (with Kantirava Stadium). We want to be here and we are optimistic. We are waiting for the official confirmation on the issue, as we cannot do much if we do not hear anything. "
However, Bengaluru FC currently have limited options, considering the club's AFC Cup commitments and the licensing criteria that they must follow. Therefore, the Blues will have to go to Ahmedabad or Pune for the upcoming promotion.
"We have to play in the AFC Cup. So, with this in mind, the only two options are Pune and Ahmedabad, as these two criteria only meet the two stadiums. Orissa was one, but since Delhi is moving there, it is no longer an option, ”said Tamahane.
The Blues are in a tight position with the AFC's September 7 deadline for stadium registration. Changes are also possible in January, but with the ISL season even beginning in October, clubs have very little time to get things rolling.
The concept club will be in a position to make a decision by September 21 for those in Tamanna who are working hard to resolve these issues.
