State football leagues in India

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are currently a total of 37 state associations affiliated with the national governing body AIFF (All India Football Federation).[1] Most of the state associations organise and have own affiliated football competitions in their respective states. The state leagues operate as a system of promotion and relegation with the national leagues such as I-League Qualifiers, Indian Women's League and Futsal Club Championship. Clubs of national leagues (i.e Indian Super League, I-league, I-League 2) also participate in their respective state leagues (often with youth teams).[2][3]
