I am wondering. How can you shorten the league and still add 12 teams. Also I am sure you guys have aspirations of having maybe 16-20 teams in the future and in a state like Nagaland that is very possible so I dont see how this can work. If anything I would expand the season.<div><br></div><div>Maybe make it 6 months instead of 5. There are 12 months in a year. An amateur footballer needs at least 6. When else do these players play. They need games and adding random tournaments wont change much. Best approach would be to have the league, make it 6 months long, add the 2 extra teams (maybe 3 depending on any I-League 2nd Division participation) and maybe add a tournament that takes place within the other 6 non-league months. Would give the players enough game time and improve the players in Nagaland. Maybe NPL for the first 6 months and within the other 6 months have a Nagaland FA Cup which involves every Nagaland club in Nagaland.</div>
18th Classic Cup started with Nagaland Police beating Gideon FC by 3-0. 3 NPL clubs taking part Barak Flamingoz, Kohima Komets and Life Sports, This is thr first time New Market FC will me missing from the tourney.

I would expect New Market to fold or at least go on hiatus after what happened in the NPL.
Life Sports FC beats Barak Flamingoz Football Academy by 2-0 in the finals of the 18th classic cup. Although it says Academy, BFFA consists of the core NPL Champions including star players Bungthot, Asian, Kenei, Velukho, Santos etc.
