TRAU FC aim to go higher in I-League football

Kolkata, Dec 28 : TRAU FC from Imphal, Manipur, are set to kick-start their I-League campaign on a high, and will be looking for a top-six finish in the upcoming season, head coach Nandakumar Singh said on Monday.
Attending the virtual press conference from within the Covid-safety bubble here, Singh and goalkeeper Soram Poirei were optimistic about the club’s chances.
“Our target is to go into every match with the aim to win the three points. The boys have all arrived, and they are feeling well. If we finish in the top six positions in the first phase, then we can challenge for the title,” said Singh.
TRAU had a hot and cold campaign in the I-League last season when they notched-up six wins, four draws, and seven losses, after having gained promotion as champions of the Hero Second Division League in 2018-19.
The coach implored fans to support the Imphal side from their homes and hoped that the club can improve on last season’s results.
“I hope all the fans support us by watching our matches. I constantly keep getting messages from friends, family, and fans wishing us luck, and we want to repay that faith and go higher,” said Singh.
