All Eyes On Sreenidi Deccan: Chanmari FC and Shillong Lajong FC will face each other in a crucial fixture in the first of two matches in the Indian Football League (IFL) 2025-26 at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Aizawl on Thursday. In the second match of the day, second-placed Sreenidi Deccan will host Namdhari Sports Academy at Deccan Arena in Hyderabad in the evening.

Chanmari FC, stepping onto the pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, will be eager to secure another vital win in front of their passionate home supporters. The Aizawl-based league debutants arrive after playing out a thrilling 2-2 draw against Dempo SC in their last outing.

Under the tactical guidance of head coach Victor Lalbiakmawia, Chanmari have shown they are unafraid to go toe-to-toe with established heavyweights. They will look to rely on their well-drilled defensive solidity and swift counter-attacks, orchestrated by Brazilian winger Jota and the precise set-piece deliveries of Christopher Kamei.
