INDIAN SUPERCROSS RACING LEAGUE (ISRL) has formally completed the handover of the EMS Corporation Stadium in Calicut, marking the final venue transition following its 2025 Season 2 calendar.
The official ceremony was held in the presence of Shaji C Kurian, general secretary of the Kerala Football Association; Eeshan Lokhande, ISRL co-founder; and Murshid Basheer, promoter of Mandidos Motorsports.
The Calicut venue was the last of three stadiums used during Season 2 to be returned, following events at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex and the GMC Balayogi Athletic Stadium.
ISRL Season 2 ran from October to December 2025 across Pune, Hyderabad and Calicut, drawing more than 55,000 spectators for a mix of supercross racing, live entertainment and festival-style experiences.
After the events, ISRL implemented structured post-event restoration protocols in coordination with stadium authorities and on-ground teams. The Kerala Football Association commissioned an independent third-party audit and submitted a favourable report to the Kozhikode Corporation, confirming that the facilities had been restored to their original condition.
ISRL’s stadium model is based on internationally benchmarked track engineering systems, protective turf solutions and specialist ground management practices. Working alongside experienced racetrack designers and global technical consultants, the league temporarily converts stadiums for motorsport use while safeguarding long-term infrastructure integrity.
Lokhande said, “India has world-class sporting infrastructure, and one of our core priorities has always been to prove how these assets can be monetized and utilized to host multiple global-standard sports like Supercross while continuing to serve football, athletics and other sports seamlessly. Successfully returning the EMS Corporation Stadium in its original configuration, with healthy turf and undamaged tracks validates our track engineering, protection systems, operational discipline and know-how, unlocking significantly greater value for cities, authorities and communities. As we look ahead to Season 3, we aim to collaborate with more venues across India and continue expanding the possibilities of stadium-based motorsport.”
