The Padmavati actor was present in London yesterday when Arsenal took on Liverpool in an enigmatic clash. Singh is a longtime Arsenal fanboy and was left ecstatic after he visited the Emirates Stadium. He must be proud of his team as Arsenal were 0-2 down only to come back with 3 goals and concede in the end to leave the game all squared 3-3 at full time.

As an ambassador, he will be working to support the League’s community initiatives across India, promote fan events and share his passion for the game.
This partnership with Singh will also strengthen the relationship between the Premier League and the ISL which was first formalised in 2014, when a mutual cooperation agreement between the two was signed. This alliance has seen the two leagues exchange knowledge, strategic support and ideas around the development of the game at all levels.
This partnership builds on the Premier League’s existing commitment to fans and development of the game in India. The League recently hosted an international fan park in Bengaluru, which saw more than 20,000 Indian fans engage with clubs and activities.
Richard Masters, Premier League Managing Director, said: “Ranveer Singh is a passionate Premier League supporter who connects with fans across India and the world. His knowledge of the game and commitment to its development and growth, both domestically and internationally, is what has led to the creation of this partnership. We look forward to working with Ranveer to encourage football fans in India to play, coach, referee and support the game.”
Singh added: “It is an honour to take on an ambassadorial role with the Premier League. I look forward to sharing my passion for football and hope that I can help develop and grow the fan base for the sport in India.”
