Delhi's Hindustan FC want to put the capital on the map

The defending champions of the Delhi Senior Division Hindustan FC made a successful start to their local league campaign with a 2-0 win against Indian National FC yesterday.

The team from the capital goes into the season with an aim to win a third Delhi Senior Division title in a row after winning the title in 2009 and 2010 to complete a rare hattrick as Team Manager and Media Coordinator Animesh Biswas told me.

For this mission 42 year old Nigerian Tope Ayodeji Fuja has been named coach of Hindustan FC, who last season coached famed Kolkata side Mohammedan Sporting Club. Tope holds a Pro-Coaching License from the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and an International Certificate from the Football Association of England. Tope Fuja is being assisted by Sandip Dhole, who holds an AFC 'C' Coaching Licence degree and a Football Coaching Licence from the National Institute of Sports.

The 1948 founded Hindustan FC are three time Delhi League champions (2001, 2009, 2010) and four times runners-up (1996, 1998, 2000, 2002) to change an earlier perception over the last decade of being unable to win the local league. The club has played in the second Division of the National Football League/I-League five times and is working to professionalize their set-up to be able to play in the 2nd Division again this season.

The club has established a a football academy under the Hindustan Football Academy name and the Academy also organises an annual inter-school tournament, the Hind Kishore School Tournament, in Delhi/National Capital Region.

Hindustan FC have been able to rope in Jagatjit Industries as their title sponsor for the 2011/12 season and the club will use the Jagatjit Industries' brand Aristocrat Premium PC in the local league and other tournaments, while SAIL and ONGC will continue to support the club as associate sponsors with further support coming from PHI Learning and Shehnai (mouth freshener) as kit sponsors this season. Cosco remains as official ball supplier.
