SRL Headquarters

The Sayaffallan Royal League Headquarters is a historical building dating back to 1890 when it was formally opened by the SRL for the first time. The grounds are on an old polo property and have been extensively cultivated since their acquisition to include facilities for players, staff and the commission responsible for running the SRL.

Facilities

The SRL HQ is designed as a working headquarters providing not just a space for day to day operations of the league to be handled but also practice areas for teams to rotate through and use while enjoying the resort amenities. A popular thing is for the winning team to spend a 3 week period refreshing after the game at the SRL HQ before heading out on their month long promotional tour following their win. Every team is expected to cycle through the SRL HQ at least 1 week out of the year to undergo media training and education on current policies and regulations within the SRL during that time many teams take advantage of the practice pitches which are available at any time for teams and players to use.

There is accommodations available for 600 people at any given time at the SRL HQ ranging from players to support staff to families. In addition to soccer practice areas there are tennis courts, a full size golf course, polo playing fields, football fields (American football), basketball courts and cricket fields. In addition to this there is also a 16 mile private beach stretch which when not in use by the SRL HQ is frequently opened up to ticket paying members of the general public to use on a daily basis. Offices are located in the main building seen in the first photo on this page and are staffed year round even though the commission only meets four times a year. There is a section of the SRL HQ open to the public and that is a portion connected to the beach that houses a large 10 floor building with hotel accommodations for fans and a museum spanning 2 floors on the bottom as well as luxury restaurants on the 3rd and 4th floors leaving 5 floors for luxury hotel stays including a spa on the roof and an attached helipad and yacht slips for guests to utilize in getting to the resort.
