QPL expects to recruit heavily from existing teams, particularly those based at universities. Because the League will take place in the summer months, players will not experience conflicts with their regular season.。
In the coming months QPL marketing expects to introduce a line of retail goods so that fans can support their regions in jerseys and other branded apparel. 。
