One of those occasions when I wanted Mohun Bagan to win, or draw at least, (to give East Bengal some breathing space at the top) and they end up losing...1-2 to Minerva Punjab Kudos to Minerva for their performance...they have proved that they are the team to beat this season Can they do an Aizawl FC this year?
@sam I hope aiff change runs and make Bhutanese players as "locals" just like how Taiwan, hong Kong, Macao players are local players in Chinese leagues.
Actually Nepalese and Bhutanese do not need work permit to work in India. So, I think allowing them in IL or ISL as a local player is not a difficult task. They even serve in our army. @munna219777 ????
Bhutan Citizens are still Foreign citizens as per FIFA due to Passport rules. Citizen of Bhutan will be having Bhutan Passport and thus will not have India passport.
@sam is correct to say that due to old aggrements, subject of Nepal, subject of Bhutan, Tibetan refugee and various Indian migrants from other countries are eligible for education, jobs (public as well as private) barring few cadres like IAS,IPS, IFS as long as they can get a "Certificate of Eligibility" issued by a High Court Body in India.
Many Bhutan students are given scholarship/seats in Medical Colleges, NDA Teaching Universities. Indian Army recruit soldiers from Nepal. But FIFA is FIFA. Not having India Passport or Citizenship means you are foreigner.

Few years ago, this is what happened to Simla Youngs when they recruited Tibetan refugee players even though they are all born and brought up in India.
