Hyderabad FC expresses gratitude to the Manipur government, armed forces and fans in Imphal
Hyderabad FC, the 2021-22 Indian Super League winners, advanced to the Durand Cup quarterfinals with a 3-0 win against NEROCA FC on Tuesday. During their third consecutive victory, Hyderabad FC conveyed their appreciation to the organisers of the historic competition, which was being held in Imphal for the first time.
Hyderabad FC, founded in 2019, has gone a long way in their brief three-year career. The team has managed to delight supporters with their distinctive style of football, going from coming last in their initial season to winning the Indian Super League with a concentration on Indian junior players.
