IFL 2025-26: Gokulam Kerala Face Namdhari; Chanmari Host Sreenidi Deccan In Saturday's Double-header
Carlos Manuel Vaz Pinto: Former champions Gokulam Kerala FC will face Namdhari Sports Academy in Indian Football League 2025-26 at the Payyanad Stadium in Manjeri, while the newly-promoted Chanmari FC meet Sreenidi Deccan FC at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Aizawl.
Gokulam Kerala FC, who will be playing their home games at the Payyanad Stadium in Manjeri instead of their usual EMS Corporation Stadium in Kozhikode, will hope to put on a better performance than their opening match of the season in front of a home crowd.
The Malabarians, who were one of the most consistent attacking sides last season, finishing fourth with 45 goals, currently have one point after a goalless opening-day draw against Chanmari FC. Despite dominating possession under head coach Derick Pereira and creating chances, they were unable to break the deadlock.
