Football is no more just a game for them. Its there passion, love
..... ITS THEIR RELIGION .....
LFP or the League of Football Players is an annual football tournament organised in IIT Gandhinagar . The foundations of LFP were laid by "Mr. Maisum Ali"(Sports secretary,IITGN 2008-09), "Mr. Harelal Mahato"(football captain,IITGN 2008-09) and "Mr. Abhishek Umrao"(Captain of Chemical dept Team 2008-09).
LFP started with three teams namely Club Gallanatos,8 hooligans FC and Aeolus. Being inspired from the popular football leagues around the world in its format and concept LFP emerged as one of the most interesting tournament of IITGN in the first year of its inception, with some hard fought matches and nail biting finishes LFP was able to attract a lot of non football playing audience. Finally after a lot of turnarounds during the course of the league, Club Gallantos emerged as the winners of the first season.
The Second and the latest season (2009-2010) of LFP saw a lot of changes, two more teams were added i.e. Rebels United and Blue Falcons and due to change in managerial position Aeolus was renamed as Urban Blitz. LFP, just like wine, became better as it grew a year older. With the competition getting tougher it attracted large amount of audiences who enjoyed some breathtaking matches. After one of the most interesting match ever played on IITGN grounds Rebels United emerged as winners proving just an inch better than defending champions Club Gallantos.
We are currently working on the format and the changes to be implemented for the next season.. suggestions and opinions are utmost welcome. please use this page to make your favorite college league bigger and better.
We express our deepest regards and gratitude to Dr. S. N. Jha, Dr. Appaji (sports officers, IITB) and Mr. M.P.S. Bhadauria(Sports Incharge and Football Coach,IITGN) for inspiring and motivating us to achieve greater Heights
THE LFP ROLL OF HONOUR
