On this partnership, Dipak Singh, Chairman stated, “Bunkerhill, a name that has over the years, stood for revolutionizing the sports culture in India, has been consistently expanding its vision. As part of the larger initiative of scouting raw talents at the grassroots level & growing its footprint in the National Capital Region, it has partnered Football Delhi’s initiative.”
He further added, “Bunkerhill is super excited to be part of the Football Delhi Golden League as one of the most befitting & biggest Grassroots Leagues in India. As part of the mission, Bunkerhill is going to sponsor Football Delhi Golden League for kids within the age group of 5-10 years.”
Quote, “Improvise, Strategize & Conquer are the three pillars of belief on which Bunkerhill has been operating since its inception. It’s the same spirit & belief with which Bunkerhill is expanding its horizon by being a part of FD Golden League.” Unquote Dipak Singh Chairman Bunkerhill.
