The Kozhikode Corporation has decided to end its contract with Gokulam Kerala FC for the latter to use the Corporation’s EMS Stadium as its home ground.
A meeting of the Corporation council on Friday noted that the Club had not been able to maintain the stadium in good condition as agreed in the contract, and hence made the decision not to renew the contract.
Sree Gokulam Football Club had entered into a one-year contract with the Kozhikode Corporation in August 2018 under which the club was to pay the Corporation an annual user fee of ₹3 lakh and was bound to maintain the grass bed, gallery, seating, and flood light in the stadium at its own expense. The contract has been extended every year since then.
