  • IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,October 24 2019]

Rana Daggubati, along with Varun Tripuraneni and Vijay Madduri, has become a promoter of the Hyderabad Football Club (HFC), which is making its debut in the sixth season of the Indian Super League (ISL) with the war cry Ab Hyderabad Khelega!.

As a sports enthusiast and former brand ambassador for a Kabbadi league, Rana Daggubati is quite excited about the new endeavour. Hyderabad has a great legacy with the sport. This team, therefore, is a chance to rekindle that legacy. I am confidently counting on Kamaljit and his team to make a mark in our very maiden season. The team proved its mettle in the preliminary camps in Chennai and Goa. HFC aced all of the seven friendly matches, remaining undefeated, he said.

Varun Tripuraneni said, Having Rana Daggubati associate with the HFC is a huge boost for the team and its following. What's more exciting is to see Rana being so committed to building a strong team.

The tournament that kickstarted on Oct 20, 2019, will go on until March 2020. Each team will play a minimum of 18 matches, in the run up for the coveted ISL trophy.
