12th edition of Manipur State League will resume its operation from October 16th as informed by All Manipur Football Association.
All the league matches were suspended after Football Referees' Welfare Association refused to conduct any match after a Referee was assaulted by supporters and officials of Sagolband United after their match against NEROCA FC on Oct 10 at Mapal Kangjeibung.
The supporters of Sagolband United were not happy by the decisions of referee during the match which they lost to defending Champions, NEROCA FC and assaulted him while he was on his way to the dressing room.
Mohun Bagan refuse to take the prize money( rs 50k) instead they gave it to the Sikkim Football Association for the youth development project. I Know the prize money is low but the kind of approach shown by the Bagan Officials is quite commendable.
