Hero I League, one of the country's top football leagues, is about to start again in Kolkata from March 3. It has been postponed to the 3rd of last month after the cases of infection between the teams came to the fore. Indian Football Federation (AIFF) CEO Sunando Dhar has issued a statement regarding the resumption of the tournament. This time it will be mandatory for the players and officials associated with the league to travel with three negative RT-PCR reports before joining the bio-bubble.
Sunando Dhar has said about this that, "We initially stopped the league because we were thinking about ensuring the safety of the players and officials involved, and did not want the corona virus infection to spread further. I am in touch with all the clubs, and all of them have expressed their enthusiasm, and are looking forward to starting again.
There will be no change in the format of the I-League and 13 teams will play each other in the first round in a round-robin format. After the first round is over, the teams are divided into two groups - Group A will consist of the top seven teams fighting for the championship title, while Group B will consist of the bottom six teams playing each other. . Each club will play once in the second round against opponents in their respective groups in a round-robin format. The matches will be played at three venues Kalyani Municipal Stadium, Naihati Stadium and Mohun Bagan Ground.
