Well hopefully for Syed Nabi he can get a contract in America on his trial, if not for DC United then for the Richmond Kickers in the 3rd tier (As Richmond is an affiliate to DC United I am sure that the Kickers coaches will also by at Nabi's trial.)
Pune, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Kochi, Goa, Delhi and Bangalore will be the eight cities where the franchises would be based, while Guwahati and Hyderabad have been kept in the reserves.
Choice of cities are realy good except NE every other state where I-league clubs belongs have been chosen. And they this isn't a compititor of I-league clubs and will spread the game.
