“It is a very exciting time for football in India. Traditionally, we have always had cricket at the forefront and that continues to be the case. but there is no denying that football is growing by leaps and bounds. You have the ISL and the younger generation is taking such a keen interest in football. It is truly the global game. We are not far from our National team representing India in the World Cup. Also, playing a sport teaches you a lot,” said Singh, in a recent interview with Hindustan Times.

Talking about many Bollywood celebrities owning teams in the Indian Super League, the actor also stated, “There have been several opportunities but I have always believed that I can’t force an association. So when this opportunity came, I jumped at it and I was like absolutely. Bam, boom. That’s why my first official association is with EPL. I have had several opportunities, but I held back waiting for the one thing that really felt right and I am content with my decision.”
