Do you have any source,I don't seem to find many in here. Anyway Best of Luck to him,Mumbai FC have been struggling after starting the league on bright note, defense has been an concern and it will be good if Zohib(If I'm not wrong is a defender) can provide something.
That's the problem in India,Passion for Fooball and club football exists only in 5-6 cities.After JCT decided to disband there is not a single Football Club from North Indian Region. What is more shocking is that India is one of few countries which doesn't have football club from Capital(Delhi).

Right now we to support all of the Delhi clubs because we have no representation and Delhi is a football hub. New Delhi Heros tried but failed. Right now the two organized clubs in Delhi are Hindustan FC and Delhi United FC. I hope Delhi United FC makes it though as I am a supporter of clubs who represent there city.
I am sorry but you asked to be pwned here... 1) Bagan: Ok I am fine with that. 2) Bengal: Ok I am fine with that. 3) Goa United: No such club exists and who would fund it + if you want the team to represent Goa then look at Sporting Clube de Goa. 4) Mumbai FC: Fine 5) New Delhi Heroes FC: Um... ya... they kinda folded a year ago fyi. 6) Pune FC: Agree 7) Bangalore FC: Who would fund them. 8) Kerala United: Does not exists and no funding. Also what about Royal Wahingdoh, United Sikkim, Delhi United FC, Salgaocar, Churchill, HAL Bangalore, Eagles FC. There are many teams you missed out on mate.
I agree. The only positive about moving to Kolkata was the amazing facilities in Pailan Headquarters. If I was the AIFF though I would have stayed in New Delhi, renamed the club as New Delhi Young Boys FC and played at the Ambedkar Stadium. Problem of course is sponsorship and funding.
NPL team auction held The much awaited NPL auction was held Wednesday at the Jumping bean café in Dimapur. The NPL main aim was to bring all communities together under football and the response and representation has been tremendous. Life sports FC from Kohima was the first team to be officially inducted into the league on the basis of merit which was followed by bidding for the second slot wherein the highest bidder the Zynorique Society was inducted. Life Sports FC, under the leadership and vision of Colo Mero and Life Ministries is a renowned team in the state while Zynorique is a society whose Leadership emphasis is all about working and developing the young people in the state. Zonipang FC, the winners of the MDFA Trophy was inducted based on merit to be the first team representing Mokokchung District while Sangpang FC, the highest bidder was awarded the second slot from Mokokchung. Zonipang FC, a classic example of community backed sports development is under the aegis of Longkhum Village Council, Mokokchung and its ideologies can well reciprocate to other communities. New boys Sangpang FC which could be a surprise package in the league is built from the backbone of young entrepreneurs trying to give back to the community through football. The remaining slots were sold off to the districts of Peren, Wokha and Zunheboto, each district had only single registered representatives. The teams that will represent these three district for the inaugural NPL season will be the high flying Flamingoz FC, a club with big ambitions representing the best of Peren football, the free flowing Doyang FC with the sole motive to strengthen Wokha football and to help develop the community through football. The ever efficient FC Naga Tornadoes, a team that has been built on strong ambitions to solely work with the community youth through football. The auction called out for the 8th slot remained unsold as there were no registered interested parties from Longleng, Mon, Tuensang, Phek and Kiphire. The management will announce the details on filling this slot after further speculations. The two Dimapur slots as mentioned in our earlier reports will be filled after the conclusion of the upcoming Dimapur District Football League. ____________________________________________________________ This is good news that our 3rd tier football league is already doing really well. I hope a Nagaland team makes the 2nd Division I-League and makes it.
Saff Cup Afghanistan vs India coming soon. 2 days India have been some high nations in preperation while Afghanistan have spent a week in UAE and some local club friendlies in preperation.

With the finishing of the SAFF Cup with India the eventual winners, I wonder if there were any Indian clubs scouting the games to sign some cheap players. I know Afghanistan surprised all to reach the final, and 1 of the players Islam Amiri plays for Mumbai, I wonder if any other players have been offered a contract or even a trial? These sorts of cups are good for Asian coaches to scout some untapped talent,
I heard from one of AFF officials that a number of Afghan national players have offers from outside. AFF is working on the arrangements.
NEW DELHI: Indian football team will be travelling to England next month for a 10-day exposure tour. According to sources, India will play couple of matches against EPL side Blackburn Rovers. For Indian coach Savio Medeira, the friendly against Bayern Munich on Tuesday already started India's journey to 2015 Asian Cup in Australia http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...-England-in-February/articleshow/11454942.cms
not sure if he would leave Norway 2nd tier for the Indian League. There are other talented players in the Afghanistan team too, Sharityar the excellent brick wall in defence, Kohistani, Mashriqi, Qazizada (Ronaldinho lookalike) I mean you have talent on your doorstep. Even other South Asian nations like Maldives Ashfaq impressed me
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...-in-new-India-league/articleshow/11492957.cms Cannavaro, Crespo star in new India league maybe this need his own thread, something like "New Indian Stars League"
I seriously dont know. I read about in a argentinian webnewspaper about Crespo and Sorin coming back in India, and I start looking around for more info. http://playfutbol.infobae.com/notas...un-torneo-para-relanzar-el-futbol-de-la-India in spanish
Now mainstream media are also reporting on Crespo and Cannavaro http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/football/top-stories/Cannavaro-Crespo-star-in-new-India-league/articleshow/11492957.cms
It must be surely, the league lasts for 10 weeks and what Indian players are these teams going to have if they are already playing I.League. A few questions about some of the players though, Robbie Fowler for example is coach of Thai team MTU and this league would be in action when he's meant to be coaching!!
