I like it. Although I thought the teams would be named after the districts. Well I may still be right but it is not the district it could be a village. <!-- s:confusion-shrug: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/confusion/shrug.gif" alt=":confusion-shrug:" title="Shrug" /><!-- s:confusion-shrug: -->
So have we forgotten about this league. The NPL is the only REAL organized state league in India. It is now starting on 10 March 2012.
Teams:
Barak Flamingoz
Dimapur United FC
Doyang FC
Dynamic FC
Kohima Komets
Life Sports FC
Naga Tornados FC
New Market FC
Sangpang FC
Zonipang FC
Now if I am right, the champion of the league will get promotion to the 2013 I-League 2nd Division. Right now it looks to be between Life Sports FC and Kohima Komets for the championship. I hope it will be Kohima Komets as they 1) represent the area based on name, 2) market themselves.
Lovely article. Maybe Sangpang FC could create some trouble to.
Also I am surprised at how much this league is NOT being talked about on here and on facebook. This league, in my opinion, has better intentions than the Bengal Premier League Soccer. For instance the champion of the NPL makes the I-League 2nd Division. Second unlike the BPLS which cares for money this league is focused on the youth and giving them a platform to become a professional. Also unlike the BPLS the names of the clubs are actually good names. Naga Tornados, Kohima Komets, these are amazing names. They also have nice 21st century logos. Also this league will most likely not need to have "icon" players in order to bring in a crowd.
Come on guys support the NPL. This league is the true state league that other leagues should model. For example I think that Kerala or Chennai would benefit from this model. Even Maharashtra and Delhi would as well.
