Imphal, July 19:
In what will come as a huge moral and financial boost, the state govt. has approved financial assistance to the tune of rupees Fifty lacs each to the two I-league clubs of the state and a yet to disclose amount to KRYPHSA which compete at the premier Women’s football league of the country. The two I-league clubs NEROCA and TRAU also known as the Orange Brigade and the Red Pythons respectively have already started preparing for next season after the 2019-20 season was terminated with few more games left because of the COVID crisis.
NEROCA made its I-league debut in 2017-18 season and with some gritty performances finished a respectable 2nd behind eventual winners Minerva Punjab football club that year. TRAU meanwhile made its I-league debut in 2019-20 season and was at 6th position before COVID crisis put a stop to all matches by AIFF. Coached by ex India team gaffer, L Chaoba, KRYPSHA dominated Indian Women’s League and won it in 2019-20 season.
