There were a lot of speculations in recent times which suggested that the I-League, India’s top tier league, was all set to welcome a new team in the upcoming season.
Bollywood producer Ronnie Screwvala-owned U Sports were reportedly interested in fielding U Mumba FC, their new footballing venture from Mumbai, in the next edition of the I-League.
U-Mumba FC was formed last year and they had taken part in the MDFA Elite Division, Mumbai’s top football division. The new side had reached the semifinals of the tournament before being ousted by Air India in the penalty shootout.
