With the new 2019-20 I-League season set to begin, Chennai City will be aiming for successful title defence, meanwhile, the likes of Mohun Bagan and East Bengal will be hoping to win the trophy themselves.
The other clubs participating in the championship are Aizawl FC, Churchill Brothers, Gokulam Kerala, Indian Arrows, Punjab FC, NEROCA, Real Kashmir and TRAU.
A total of 110 games are on schedule to be played across five months and 17 weeks. The Hero I-League, this season, will feature 11 teams representing eight states and one union territory of India, vying for the coveted trophy and a chance to represent the country in the AFC Cup.
Speaking ahead of the opening match-day, Sunando Dhar, CEO, I-League said: "What makes the Hero I-League special I believe is its competitiveness and unpredictability. You cannot earmark a team and be absolutely sure that they are going to win. That unpredictability is rare in football these days, which makes me proud of our league. It’s almost time and I could not be more excited. I would like to thank the AIFF leadership, our sponsors Hero, our marketing partners FSDL as well as our production and broadcast partners Instat and Dsport for making the 13th edition better than ever before. I wish all the clubs all the very best and may the best club win."
