CHENNAI CITY FOOTBALL CLUB (CCFC) SET TO BUILD SMART
SPORTS CITY IN COIMBATORE BY 2022:

CHENNAI CITY FOOTBALL CLUB IS AN INDIAN PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL CLUB BASED IN

COIMBATORE, TAMIL NADU

CCFC AND CSCL (COIMBATORE SMART CITY LIMITED) HAVE AGREED TO FORM A SPECIAL
PURPOSE VEHICLE (SPV), UNDER WHICH A WORLD-CLASS MULTI-SPORT RESIDENTIAL SMART
SPORTS CITY WILL BE BUILT BY 2022. THE PROJECT, WHICH WILL COST AROUND RS 250-300
CRORE, IS PART OF COIMBATORE’S SMART CITY PLAN. WHILE THE LAND FOR THE SPORTS CITY
WILL BE PROVIDED BY COIMBATORE CORPORATION,CSCL (COIMBATORE SMART CITY LIMITED)
WILL ALLOCATE THE FUNDS. CCFC WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PLANNING, DESIGN,
CONSTRUCTION AND BUDGETING OF THE STADIUM.

“COIMBATORE IS AN INDUSTRIAL CITY. BUT WE DON’T HAVE A PROPER SPORTS

INFRASTRUCTURE. SO WE WERE PLANNING TO BUILD A SPORTS CITY IN COIMBATORE FOR THE
LAST TWO YEARS WITH SOME OF THE SMART CITY FUNDS. BUT WE DIDN’T QUITE KNOW
WHOM TO APPROACH AND HOW TO GO ABOUT IT. WHEN CCFC CAME TO PLAY THEIR
MATCHES IN COIMBATORE, WE SAW HOW THEY REFURBISHED THE NEHRU STADIUM AND
WERE HIGHLY IMPRESSED WITH THEIR WAY OF FUNCTIONING. IT WAS THEN THAT WE
DECIDED THAT WE WILL USE THEIR EXPERTISE TO BUILD THE SPORTS CITY. IT WILL HAVE
STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES AND WE WANT TO HOST INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL EVENT,”
THE OFFICIAL TOLD TOI (TIMES OF INDIA).

CCFC CO-OWNER AND CEO ROHIT RAMESH SAID THAT THEY WILL BRING IN INTERNATIONAL
EXPERTISE TO FINISH THE PROJECT. “COIMBATORE HAD LAST HOSTED A MATCH ALMOST 17
YEARS EARLIER BEFORE CCFC’S GAMES. WE HAD SPENT OVER RS 3.5 CRORES ON
COIMBATORE’S NEHRU STADIUM FLOODLIGHTS, PITCH AND DRESSING ROOMS. THE
COIMBATORE MUNICIPAL CORPORATION SAW OUR EFFORTS AND THEY CAME FORWARD TO
INVEST RS 2.25 CRORE, HELPING US BUILD TWO NEW HIGH-MAST FLOODLIGHTS WITH 48
FITTINGS IN EACH TOWER. IT WAS THEN THAT WE THOUGHT SINCE WE ARE USING

COIMBATORE AS OUR BASE, WHY NOT APPROACH THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT. AND
EVERYTHING FELL INTO PLACE. WE WILL BRING IN ALSO HAD A COMMITMENT TOWARDS AIFF
(ALL INDIA FOOTBALL FEDERATION) THAT WE WILL BUILD A NEW STADIUM. SO WE

WILL USE THE HELP OF INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES AND THE RESPECTIVE SPORTS BODIES TO
BUILD THE FACILITY,” SAID ROHIT.
