Aizawl FC, the former I‑League champions, are reportedly considering a move out of Mizoram following a recent ownership transfer. The club’s future location remains uncertain.
Aizawl FC, the club that captured India’s top football title in 2015‑16, is reportedly exploring a relocation after a recent change in ownership. The new proprietors have indicated that the club may leave its home base in Mizoram to seek better infrastructure and commercial opportunities.
No official statement has yet confirmed the move, but sources close to the club suggest that the decision is driven by the need for upgraded training facilities and a larger fan base. Aizawl FC’s home ground, the Aizawl Stadium, has limited seating and amenities compared to venues in other states.
The potential shift has sparked concern among local supporters, who fear that the club’s departure could diminish football’s visibility in the region. Club officials have promised to keep fans informed as negotiations progress.
If the relocation proceeds, Aizawl FC will become the first former I‑League champion to relocate from its original state. The exact destination has not been disclosed, but speculation points to larger cities with better sports infrastructure.
