Colo is the director for Life Sports under Life Ministries and his experience and Vision is invaluable to Nagaland Premier League and 442 Management. His work is well respected and his experience will definitely take NPL and 442 Management to another level of growth. Certain core objectives we all share is to develop a set of Nagaland Players to play at a higher level plus imagining the possibility of Nagaland having atleast 8 professional commercial entity clubs, 8 Church related organisations and 8 Community based Clubs. The Core examples are Kohima Komets, Life Sports and Longkhum Village Council of the Zonipang SA franchise. So maybe in the next 5 to 10 years, if we can achieve this than imagine how many people in different spectrums of life related to football would be placed, the 442 Management statement added.
With the Nagaland Premier League kicking off soon, the management has called upon the fans and supporters to work with them and help support the clubs. While acknowledging the importance of fans and its contribution towards the club and the league, the management also called upon football loving organisations or corporate houses to support the league saying that their contribution directly infuses into a football development program.
