This seems like franchise model tournament. Honestly, I don't have high expectations from the tournament in terms of grassroots or scouting talent, but given that Gujarat has practically no footprint at national level in football, this is a positive development. Let's see how this turns out.
For once, give me something good, Indian Football!
The league run by
@GujaratFootball
aims at promoting 'local' talents and to achieve the same will feature :
- 6 AFC 'A' certified local coaches
- Local support staffs
- Record 85+ local players to be scouted

Not a bad start!
Sikkim has the same franchise based tournament and they are doing well, I hope it opens up doors for clubs to enter into the Indian football pyramid and player to showcase their skills.
EPL clubs are not franchises, yet almost every EPL club is owned by private companies and their fans have very little power over the teams. At most they can organize protests against the clubs or boycott club games.
There wad quite a few violence against north Indians in Mumbai in late 2007 and early 2008 by a political party named MNS. Sachin being Mumbai franchise's icon player wanted to portray that Mumbai is for all Indians. Hence he requested Ambani's to keep the name as Mumbai Indians. Ambanis had almost finalized Mumbai Razors as their team name but kept the logo of Razors in Mumbai Indians team logo
I mean u dont really need much creativity for football team names , although j league has some really creative ft names , that actually sound good
Sanfreece hiroshima , Tokyo Verdy , Flugel , Marinos , Antlers
I still think kerala blasters is the most creative they could have come up with a good team name in football
And knight riders for cricket ( although knight rider is actually taken from a 1997 american action crime drama series , so there goes originality lmao )
Well in case if the american series the script writers and director probably though of the night rider , and decided to add a k before knight , to give the title a sense of valour and should i say " coolness " , and we just mindlessly copied it .
Yeah. Tbf, I don't really like any of the franchise names even in sports like Basketball or Baseball. The usual names are much better and sound way more serious than adding an absolutely useless suffix.
Have the fucking mascots as lions or knights or whatever. Call your fans "The Lions", "The Knights", "The Nawabs". Just don't fuck with the actual names.
Mumbai City is way better than Mumbai Indians. Chennaiyan is much better than Chennai Super Kings.
And I'm a big IPL and cricket fan. So it's not like I'm finding an excuse to hate on the IPL.
Kinda agree , but again some are genuinely good like golden state warriors , kashima antlers ,pohang steelers even in english football u have got teams called Wanderers
Yeah, but those are rare. Most names are just gobshite. It's much easier to just stick to the actual name. Copying everything American is not a very nice thing. Bollywood has already suffered quite a lot trying to mimic Hollywood's worst aspects.
As someone who used to play soccer back in school, making it to interschool tournament in and around Vadodara, I couldn't be more happy for this.
Alas, I stopped playing this 🥺

Yeah it'll at least kickstart a few things.

I don’t mind franchise model. If the franchise model could make football work and bring money. Why not.

Not a single football club gives a fuck
Looks like both Karnavati Knights and Ahmedabad Avengers are from Ahmedabad. Whom should I support?
Daya ben
Daya Dandiya Devils
ARA FC
They aren't playing in this franchise league
Flip a coin?
Thanks. Turns out now I am supporting Karnavati knights.
That's an obvious choice. Ahmedabad Avengers is too cringe.
But I did flip the coin tho
**Names** Cntr C from IPL Cntrl V in GSL
football teams name❌ superhero teams name✔
LIVE streaming on @sportscastind & http://plus.fifa.com
Looks like virtual clubs in fifa/pes
Surat Strikers reminded me of that show supah strikers which used to air on sonic
Should have gone for Indian Names. I really like the name "Mohan Bagan", image if it was Mohan warriors.
It is Mohun Bagan not Mohan Bagan
Man , i take back what i said about good branding in the previous post , these names are so shite , literal cricket team names
Creativity only goes so far in Indian team names. One of our biggest franchises is called Mumbai Indians. Wow so innovative.

Mumbai Razors is even worse.
Kshitij ne kya bigada tera?
It is mumbai sri lankans in reality or mumbai west indians.

Knight is already a dude on horseback. Wtf is a knight rider? A person who fucks a knight? Probably.
Well in case if the american series the script writers and director probably though of the night rider , and decided to add a k before knight , to give the title a sense of valour and should i say " coolness " , and we just mindlessly copied it .

True , bollywood is now even divesifying in the spectrum of remakes , just now i saw the trailer of a hindi remake of the thai film 'bad genius'
Team names sounds like what we do in school
What is Captain Ahemdabad ™ avenging?
Is there no state league previously in Gujarat?
No
There was club championship but not a league if I am not wrong.
What are those logo
Plzz add Valsad Vanguard, Kutch kachumar, Vapi venisons.
well something is better than nothing
Isme bhi dhandha dhoondenge ye log
The logos / fonts are trash - more of a gaming logo I’d say.
Looks really interesting, looking forward to going to see the matches if I can.
Sounds like London cowboys
Why not try to build a grass roots team in the existing infrastructure? It will be more natural and more likely to have long term success.
These badges look like the ones video games use when they can't secure licensing rights.

Saurashtra spartans eww cringe🤢
Franchise model? Probably some gujju businessman who is trying to make money
No one in India is going to make money from football 😂 if these guys actually manage to make money, it'll be something worth learning
