IFA yet to declare CPL fixture!

The governing body of Bengal football has yet to declare the fixture for the most sought after local league in the state, the Calcutta Premier League. Unofficial sources say that the CPL is scheduled to set off from the 9th of July with Mohun Bagan playing their first match of the season on the 11th of July and IFA has assured to declare the fixture by 8th July. This highly unprofessional attitude on the part of the IFA has in the past affected Bengal football and has been a pediment in the way of developemnt of football in this part of the country.

Unofficial sources claim the CPL fixture to be as follows:

11th July: Peerless SC

15th July: Unknown

18th July: Unknown

22nd July: Unknown

26th July: Mohd. Sp.

30th July: Unkown
