  • wow. this is just by 18 states.

    regarding Basco FC (Kerala)
    I thought it was Royal Travels FC

    regarding names for me which i don't find sounding good are : Oil India FC, Madan Maharaj FC, Sports Hostel Odisha.
    Also can someone give more insights on Madan Maharaj FC, Peerless SC. I mean which clubs are corporatish and their real business.

    Nevertheless, I am happy to see so many clubs, i guess there would be even more had 1 state 2 clubs rule would not have been there only. Sad that only 10 will make the cut, AIFF should create a 3rd division for the rest.

    How many of these clubs are based in the cities where ISL  Franchise already exists ? That will also be a factor. I dont think AIFF will allow any club from Mumbai

  • G_KG_K Kerala5182 Points
    Mumbai really needs an I-League club based at Cooperage stadium (not Indian Arrows). They can draw decent crowd, compared to the capacity there (traditional fans). Mumbai Football Arena is one of the worst stadium for a spectator.

    Most of the nominated clubs are too amateurish to play national league. AIFF can easily cut it down to 10-12 on sporting merit or licensing criteria.

    Some of state associations conduct their league only in the capital like Karnataka (Bengaluru), West Bengal (Kolkata), Maharashtra (Mumbai), Gujarat (Gandhinagar), TN(Chennai). This is not good for other cities in the state, for example, Mysore, Mangalore, Kolhapur, Pune, Siliguri. State leagues have to expand to whole state, if AIFF is strict on this 'League participation' rule.

    GFA Goa Pro League from Oct 2

    The Goa Football Association at their executive committee meeting on Thursday, decided to commence the Goa Professional League from October 2, 2020 but in a new format not neglecting the Covid situation in the State.

    “The Goa Professional League will commence from October 2 and in a new format which has been decided by the Goa Football Association executive committee,” stated Churchill Alemao.

    The charity match will be played on September 19 between GPL champions Sporting Clube de Goa and Dempo

     Sports Club..

    Last season, questions were raised on relegation after the standings changed following a series of protests from a couple of teams. However, the committee finally decided to have no relegation for last season citing there wouldn’t be any team to be promoted to the league from the first division league.

    “However, this year, there will be relegation and hence the committee has decided to organise even the first division league so that one team gets promoted from the 1st division league and we can have relegation in the professional league,” stated Alemao.

    The first division league will be held tentatively from November 1 to 30 depending on the COVID-19 pandemic situation.

    The committee has also decided to conduct the GFA U20 Taca Goa league and has also given permission to Goa Police to organise the Police Cup after September 20, 2021. The State association has made it mandatory to provide the vaccination certificate for the players playing in the league. The State futsal league will be played in South Goa and first 16 teams will be considered for the championship. Interested teams should send in their entries by August 18.
