Mysuru builds new football ground to boost sports

Construction of a new football ground has begun near Chamundi Vihar Stadium in Mysuru, aiming to boost football promotion and provide dedicated facilities. The Department of Youth Empowerment and Sports is building the ground on 3.4 acres, with initial costs of Rs 70 lakh. This project will allow for year-round football tournaments and training, addressing the current lack of dedicated grounds. The initiative follows the District Football Association's use of university and other grounds for tournaments. The new facility is expected to be completed in 11 months and will host state and national-level events.
