I-League | AIFF announces schedule for 2021-22 season, league to start on December 26
The 2021-22 season of the I-League will kickstart on December 26, with all the matches scheduled to be played across three venues in West Bengal, the AIFF announced on Tuesday. The matches will be played at Mohun Bagan Ground in Kolkata, Kalyani Stadium in Kalyani, and Naihati Stadium in Naihati.
The biggest change this time around will be the introduction of three new teams, which takes the tally from 10 to 13.
Sreenidi Deccan FC join the league from Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan United FC from Rajasthan, and Mumbai-based Kenkre FC, after making their way through the qualifiers. All the teams, along with the officials and support staff will be placed in the bio-secure bubble for the entire season.
Meanwhile, all the teams will play against each other once in the round-robin format. Thereafter the teams will be split into two groups, as per their standings in Phase 1. Based on that, the top seven teams will play for the title, while the bottom six will play to avoid relegation. The first phase will end on February 24, 2022.
