KOCHI: La Liga India managing director Jose Antonio Cachaza said on Wednesday that he is targeting the summer of 2023 at the earliest to bring Spanish clubs to the country. Girona FC became the first La Liga side to play in India when they took part in the La Liga World tournament along with Kerala Blasters and Melbourne City FC at Kochi in 2018.
"To organise the travel is very difficult and expensive. You need time to plan. You need security. We also have to work with local promoters, but nobody will get into such an expensive project without having a guarantee that there will be no more lockdowns. There are uncertainties, but that does not make it impossible," said Cachaza who was in Kochi to mark five years of La Liga Office in India.
