Major blow for Indian football
No Mahindra United from the next season
New Delhi, April 30: Indian football received a body blow on Friday with automobile giants Mahindras announcing the shutting down of their Mumbai-based 48-year-old football club Mahindra United from next season and that they will move on to develop the game at the grassroots level.
The shocking decision comes at a time when Mahindra U are placed second in the I-League and also have an outside chance of winning the title. Started in 1962, the club has been one of the best and has won all major Championships including the Durand Cup, National League, IFA Shield, Federation Cup, President’s Cup and the Super Cup. The team has been adjudged champions of the Mumbai Football League 15 times since 1971.
