It’s a blockbuster final: seven-time champions India up against Bangladesh, winners of the last two editions. One seeking to regain the trophy they last won in 2019, another wanting to create history with a three-peat. @flavioOne8 previews the final

Bangladesh needed late goals to defeat Maldives 4-2 in SAFF Women's Championship. Having conceded 11 against India in opener, Bangladesh -- winners of last two editions -- aimed to do even better, scored inside 14 secs, but faltered, reports @flavioOne8

Mohun Bagan had a chance to nose ahead of East Bengal, but dropped points after being held 1-1 by FC Goa. The Derby is the most followed fixture in Indian football. This season, there will be added spice, and the title at stake, reports @flavioOne8

Dempo SC just about made it to the top six of the Indian Football League (IFL). Now, the five-time champions will start afresh when they face Shillong Lajong FC at the SSA Stadium in Shillong on Sunday, reports @flavioOne8

Till the last two games, Dempo were struggling in the bottom half. Now, after victories against Shillong Lajong and Aizawal , they are guaranteed a place in the top six championship phase, regardless of their final game against RUFC, reports @flavioOne8

Two 3-0 wins in a row have propelled Dempo SC to the top five for the first time and they'll need a win in their next clash against Rajasthan United to stay among the championship teams for the second phase, reports @flavioOne8

Dempo SC’s first win in the Indian Football League after seven games has boosted morale. Now, with two games left in the first phase, Dempo will look for nothing less than six points from their remaining fixtures, both at home, reports @flavioOne8

Despite showing promise, Dempo have not been able to convert their chances. Now, with three crucial games in the first phase of IFL left to be played, coach Samir Naik hopes his team can finally step out with their heads held high, reports @flavioOne8

[Marcus Mergulhao @MarcusMergulhao]

Dempo are in unfamiliar territory, winless in five matches and now at the bottom of the IFL table. Coach Samir Naik believes one victory can change their fortunes, and it could come when they host Namdhari FC at Fatorda, reports @flavioOne8

Dempo SC’s wait for three points continued while Gokulam Kerala FC ended their drought after a 2-0 win in the Indian Football League (IFL) at the Payyanad Stadium, Manjeri, reports @flavioOne8

[Marcus Mergulhao @MarcusMergulhao]

After three rounds, it’s strange to see Dempo & Gokulam Kerala, both former champions, at the bottom of the Indian Football League table. They have just 2 points and yet to win a game. Now at full strength, Dempo fancy their chances, writes @flavioOne8

Effiong Nsungusi’s fine first-half goal could have so easily handed Punjab FC their first victory against FC Goa, but his second half red card allowed Manolo Marquez’s side a comeback for a hard-fought 1-1 draw in Delhi, reports @flavioOne8

With five new foreign players, Dempo SC are looking stronger than the Super Cup campaign when an all-Indian squad held Kolkata giants East Bengal and Mohun Bagan to draws. Coach Samir Naik believes this team can win promotion to ISL, reports @flavioOne8

On a day when so much happened, including the all-important announcement from Union sports minister Mansukh Mandaviya that the ISL will finally kick off on February 14 and all 14 teams will take part, here’s everything you wanted to know…

[Marcus Mergulhao @MarcusMergulhao]

Without any competitive football or clarity over the ISL, foreign players are now moving to other countries, even though it’s for lesser money. FC Goa, Bengaluru FC, Kerala Blasters have all lost players; East Bengal and NorthEast United could be next.
