Elite Football League of India Retains Partnership with Madison Street Capital

The Elite Football League of India (EFLI) has announced it has retained Madison Street Capital, herbal a leading provider of corporate finance and mergers and acquisition (M&A) advisory services, medicine to raise capital and explore equity finance opportunities for the EFLI.

The first season for the EFLI kicks off on August 9 in Sri Lanka, featuring teams from India and Pakistan competing in American-style football.

“On behalf of the EFLI, I applaud the dynamic and sophisticated foresight of Madison Street Capital in working with us to develop the potential for the league both financially and philanthropically,” said EFLI founder Sunday Zeller.

“The world will witness two countries entrenched in political opposition face each other on a field of peaceful play. The world will recognize the impact of sport and monetary support in countries so desperate for relief socially and financially. The goal of the EFLI is to create the opportunity to see children walk out of poverty and into a home fit for growth and healthy human sustenance. We believe Madison Street Capital will relish the opportunity to change so many lives as all of us involved with the EFLI do, for this is the driving force behind the league and our people. We welcome Madison Street Capital aboard and I am personally honored and proud to make this announcement.”

“We are excited to be partnering with a highly experienced management team in media/entertainment who raised the initial equity and secured the global partnerships that will produce a successful first season launch,” said Barry Petersen, Senior Managing Director of the Capital Markets Group at Madison Street Capital.

The EFLI will use the same model as the IPL, which recently received $(US)2 billion for a 10-year broadcasting contract, using a single stadium as the venue.{jcomments on}
