Kerala is represented by Kochi Blue Spikers, Calicut Heroes in league

Prime Volleyball League 2024 powered by A23 is in full swing in the beautiful city of Chennai. Former Indian national football team players CK Vineeth and Rino Anto were in attendance on Friday as Calicut Heroes defeated Delhi Toofans. At the same time, Bengaluru Torpedoes took down Kochi Blue Spikers in the second match.

The duo travelled from Kerala to watch two of their hometown teams Kochi Blue Spikers and Calicut Heroes in action. Rino Anto, who previously played for Bengaluru FC in the Indian Super League expressed his emotions as he attended his first RuPay Prime Volleyball League live match.

“It’s a top-class atmosphere. This is my first time watching a volleyball match live and it feels fantastic to be here. We specially came in to watch Kishor Kumar (Calicut Heroes’ head coach).”

Former Bengaluru FC & Kerala Blasters forward CK Vineeth: “In my childhood, volleyball was at its peak in Kerala, during the times of Tom Joseph and Kishor Kumar. We need to get back to that level. It’s disheartening to see the sport on the decline in the state and I believe RuPay Prime Volleyball will be of great help to the teams and players at the local level by providing a platform and opportunity to grow.”
