LaLiga, Spain’s top division football league, ties up with Bollywood celebrity, Arjun Kapoor. The actor will be going to Spain for a VIP LaLiga Experience and attend the high-octane Real Betis vs Sevilla match. He will also visit the training grounds of both clubs as well as sample the best of what the city of Sevilla can offer.

The association comes at a perfect time as football is on an upward slope in India, with more people following the sport than ever before. As a passionate football fan and a prominent face in the football environment in the country, the Indian Super League club, FC Pune City owner Kapoor and LaLiga are a seamless fit to promote the sport in India.

The Bollywood superstar has been following LaLiga for many years and has been associated with football through organising training and support programmes for upcoming football players.

 He also owns FC Pune City, which is a leading team in the Indian Super League (ISL).

“I am thrilled to be associated with LaLiga, having been an avid fan of football since childhood. It is a dream come true to watch my favourite sport in the country that is so passionate about it,” said Kapoor.

“LaLiga is one of the best football leagues in the world and it’s great to see them so invested in our country and towards Indian fans,” he adds.
