XtraTime Web Desk: Great news for Indian Football as Sudeva FC has submitted their bid to enter the I-League in the upcoming 2020-21 season.

When AIFF issued the invitation for bids to add new corporate teams to the league, Sudeva were one of the first names that did the rounds in the Indian football circles, given their long-standing interest in entering the I-League.

The club has appeared in national level football in the past, participating in the 2nd Division League back in 2017. They finished at the bottom of their group in the preliminary round.

Even though the promotion route has eluded them, the owners of the club have maintained interest in I-League, and today, according to Football Delhi President Shaji Prabhakaran, they have finally taken the formal step to seek entry there.

At present, no club from Delhi plays in I-League or Indian Super League; strengthening Sudeva's case due to the strategic & commercial advantage that comes with representing the national capital.
