Premier League Soccer to Begin in Kolkata From March 24; Final on May 6

The much awaited Premier League Soccer (PLS) will begin in Kolkata from March 24, with the final scheduled on May 6, 2012. The event will thus collide with the hugely successful Indian Premier League (IPL), bringing upon a very exciting prospect.

Spanning 35 matches, including five knockouts, the IPL-style football tournament featuring international stars, would have a total prize purse of Rs 1.5 crore, with Rs 50 lakh for the winners, the Indian Football Association, organizers of the tournament, said.

The likes of Fabio Cannavaro and Hernan Crespo along with some of the world's renowned coaches would arrive in Kolkata in early March as the pre-season training would begin on March 3.
