Question- When will Delhi club join the Indian Super League?

Answer- Delhi club is going to appear in the Indian Super League (ISL) soon. Before playing in the senior Indian team, one has to play Indian Super League. After this the players are selected in the main team of India. There is no such club in Delhi, hence players have to go outside to play. I hope that very soon ISL club will be started in Delhi also, after which the players will not have to go out to play. Our focus remains on becoming champions. Delhi has defeated the country’s legendary team. Which includes teams like Kerala, Manipur.

Question- Delhi Football Premier League players have been accused of match fixing, what is happening on that?

Answer: To stop match fixing at Ambedkar Stadium, we have installed cameras and a disciplinary committee has been formed. An FIR has been registered under the complaint we had given to the Anti Corruption Bureau. Delhi Police is investigating this. The reasons for match fixing are not known yet. Match fixers come as a group. First came to Kolkata, Goa and now to Delhi also. These people carry out fixing by tricking the team and players in different ways. The focus of the Football Federation is now on the activities of the players, who they meet, where they go.
