2nd Division I-League: Groupings & Fixtures out

The 2nd Division of the I-League will kick-off with the three group preliminary round on February 1 with 23 teams divided into groups of seven or eight teams. The groups would be played in Silchar, Cuttack and Delhi with only the top two sides making it to the next round where they would be joined by last years relegated I-League side ONGC.

The draw is an interesting one with the seven team Group A the toughest of all the three groups. To name favourites is difficult then in such a single-leg format it all depends on how you start into the tournament and if you can keep the momentum going through such a group phase.
