Odisha FC coach Josep Gombau is hopeful that he along with his team can do something to develop the sport in the state. The Spanish coach has also added that although they have shifted their base, everything is not new for the team and they are continuing from their association with Delhi Dynamos.

After Hyderabad became a new side to enter the Indian Super League fray, reportedly in place of FC Pune City, Delhi Dynamos has moved out of the capital city to set up shop in Bhubaneswar and would reportedly be named Odisha FC. Shubham Sarangi would be the only local player in the club.
