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.

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.
