The league is governed by the Futsal Association of India (FAI) with accreditation from the international governing body, Asociacion Mundial de Futsal (AMF).
"We all grew up playing 5-a-side football. The combination of speed and flamboyance is what attracts so many people across the globe to watch and play the sport. Futsal is a fast and exciting sport. Futsallers display a lot of flair, skill and swag on the field, which are all qualities I relate to," Kohli said in a release on Monday.
"I am tremendously excited to be a part of Premier Futsal and motivated to positively contribute to the development of this wonderful new sport in India," the hard-hitting batsman said.
Over 50 international futsalers, from four continents and 21 countries are expected to participate in a game which is split into two halves of 20 minutes each.
