The name of Gokulam Kerala, which won the Durand Cup in the year 2019 defeating Mohun Bagan, now Mohun Bagan Super Giants, at the Yuba Bharati Krirangan stadium, Salt Lake here, did not feature in the six groups of the tournament announced recently.

The reason, according to a club official, is that the club is yet to start its pre-season camp pending an issue relating to playing ground with the Kozhikode Corporation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cWe haven\u2019t started our pre-season camp owing to the ground issue\u201d, the official informed IANS. \u201cBy the second week of August, we will be starting our pre-season camp as we have not yet resolved our issue regarding playing ground with the Kozhikode Municipal Corporation,\" the official said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cUntil the issue is sorted out, we cannot commit to any tournament,\u201d the official added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

According to media reports, the Kozhikode Corporation is not renewing its contract for the maintenance of the EMS Corporation Stadium. The contract had not been renewed last year, either.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cIt was after we wrote to the Chief Minister that we were able to play our matches at the stadium last season and we have already made the same request to him this year as well,\u201d VC Praveen, Gokulam Kerala\u2019s president was quoted as saying in a report in a leading newspaper.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
