Prasanna Kumar Memorial kicks-off on November 25

The Bangalore District Football Association (BDFA) organized Prasanna Kumar Memorial Football Tournament gets started from Wednesday, November 25 at the Bangalore Football Stadium.

Played between the BDFA A division teams, this will be the 60th edition of Prasanna Kumar Memorial and this tournament serves as the season opening tournament for the BDFA A division teams.

A total of 16 teams are classified in four pools, the top team from each pool qualifies for knock-out round. The knock-out round will consist of 2 semifinals and a final. The final will be played on December 9.

With the artificial turf laying work gathering momentum, it is interesting to see how BDFA manages to accommodate the other football commitments lined up for the current season - a knock-out tournament for the BDFA B division teams (similar to Puttaiah Memorial Cup and Prasanna Kumar Memorial), B Division, A Division, and Super Division League.

Talking to IndianFootball.Com, one of the BDFA official said that they will act as per the guidelines provided by their parent body, Karnataka State Football Association (KSFA). It is quite possible that the BDFA league would be moved from Bangalore Football Stadium to some other alternative venues.

BDFA would get much clarity in the next weeks, when the Prasanna Kumar Memorial Football Tournament concludes.

ADE plays against Government Press in the inaugural match of the tournament.
