The Football Champions League 2025 kicked off in spectacular fashion at the Racecourse Grounds, delivering two high-intensity opening clashes that marked the start of a bold, modern chapter for Sri Lankan football.
Moragasmulla SC faced Pelicans SC in the curtain-raiser, followed by a fierce battle between Sri Lanka Police SC and Super Sun SC. Both games set the tone for a season built on speed, energy, and a revamped football experience.
The Racecourse venue debuted a fully modernised matchday environment, complete with international-standard branding, elevated production, and a vibrant stadium atmosphere. It’s the strongest visual transformation the league has ever seen, designed to enhance fan experience, boost commercial value, and elevate domestic football to global benchmarks.
In a landmark move for accessibility, all 85 matches of the Football Champions League will air live and free-to-air on TV Supreme, ensuring maximum nationwide reach. The initiative, driven by FFSL President Jaswar Umar, puts Sri Lankan football directly into homes across the island and gives local players unprecedented visibility.
Beginning next weekend, matchdays will expand beyond football, offering fans a full entertainment festival featuring:
- Food and beverage stalls
- Family-friendly activity zones
- Interactive fan experiences
The goal is clear: create a football culture that is dynamic, inclusive, and commercially viable — a league that attracts new audiences while strengthening its core supporter base.
With enhanced production, fresh commercial partnerships, and nationwide coverage, the Football Champions League 2025 signals a powerful reset for the sport. Organisers expect stronger sponsorship interest, higher fan engagement, and greater media traction as Sri Lankan football steps confidently into a new era.
