I-League 2020-21 Phase II Begins on March 5 with Real Kashmir Facing Churchill Brothers
Real Kashmir will take on Churchill Brothers as phase II of I-League 2020-21 begins on March 5.

The business end of the I-League, i.e. Phase II is all set to begin on Friday (March 5, 2021) at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, where Real Kashmir FC and Churchill Brothers FC Goa will get the proceedings underway at 2 PM IST. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic, the matches in the I-League are being staged across four venues this season – the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, the Kishore Bharati Krirangan, and the Mohun Bagan Ground in Kolkata, and the Kalyani Municipal Stadium in Kalyani, West Bengal. The 11 clubs will continue to operate from within the bio-bubble in Kolkata.

Based on the results in Phase I, the teams have been divided into two groups – Group A and B. While the teams that finished in the top six spots in Phase I will move into Group A and will fight for the I-League title, those in the bottom five will be locked in a relegation battle in Group B. Both teams in the respective groups will face each other once in a round-robin format.

The action in Group A kicks off at the VYBK on March 5, 2021 (2 PM IST), with Real Kashmir FC taking on Churchill Brothers FC Goa, while that of Group B will begin on March 6, 2021 (2 PM IST), as Chennai City FC take on Sudeva Delhi FC. The matches will be broadcast on the 1Sports channel and streamed live on the 1Sports Facebook page.

AIFF Leagues CEO Mr. Sunando Dhar said, “This is a completely new format, something that no team in the I-League has experienced so far. Seeing how close the teams have been so far, we are definitely expecting an exciting fight on the cards – be it the fight to be crowned champions, or a relegation scrap. My best wishes to all the teams.”
