Shah Rukh Khan eyes Indian football club

Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan may soon be announcing ownership of a football club in India.

The sports-loving Bollywood icon, who owns the IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders, has hinted at buying a football club as part of the Indian Super League (ISL) franchise, the Deccan Chronicle reported.

Shah Rukh Khan has long expressed a desire to own a football team, and it looks like he is about to realise his dream.

“We have been checking on various teams last year. Since we are not corporates, we have to look at the financial viability of using our own finances. God willing, we shall confirm the news soon,” the Deccan Chronicle quoted him as saying.

Khan also co-owns Caribbean Premier League team Trinbago Knight Riders.
