Football fans in Kerala whoop it up with screenings of matches

As the English Premier League (EPL) giants Manchester United and Manchester City lock horns in yet another Manchester Derby, one of the most anticipated fixtures in the football world, at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, fans of the clubs in faraway Kerala will cheer for them at screenings to be organised across multiple centres.

While the Manchester United Supporters Club Kerala (MUSCK) is planning to host screenings for their fans in Thrissur, Kozhikode, Kochi, Kasaragod and Kottayam districts, Cityzens Kerala, an official supporters’ club of Manchester City, will stage screenings for both sets of fans in Kozhikode, Malappuram and Kochi.

“Since COVID-19, this is the first derby to generate so much excitement as reflected in the increased demand for screenings,” says Akash Kesavan, chairman, MUSCK.
