He further added, “I also take this opportunity to express my gratitude to AIFF leadership for granting Sudeva FC the opportunity to be part of I-League”.

Corporate Entry Is Relegation Free
An added boost to the new entrants is that it keeps the club free from relegation threat for this season. As a rule based for corporate entry, it makes the team safe of relegation. Chairman of the League Committee, Mr. Subrata Dutta expressed his gratitude – “I on the behalf of AIFF, welcome Sudeva to the I-League family.

We have been working to get teams from different regions and cities to reach out to newer fans and provide the I-league more pan-Indian presence, which is in line with the AIFF Strategic Plan. Good luck.”, Das expressed.

With the league set to resume in few months, Sudeva FC will look forward to making a name for themselves among the top domestic teams in the country.
