Bengaluru FC proud of winning I-League in inaugural season!

The JSW owned Bengaluru FC sealed the 2013/14 I-League title with a spectacular 4-2 win over former champions Dempo SC in Goa Monday evening. Thereafter it was celebration time for the new champions!

Bengaluru FC’s English coach Ashley Westwood said, “Just want to congratulate and thank everybody connected to the club who has made this possible. We have shown what can be achieved with a combined team effort. I just hope everybody realizes how big an achievement this has been for a brand new club and I would also like to say a special thanks to the fans who made Bangalore a special place to play for all of us!”

India captain and Bengaluru FC striker Sunil Chhetri meanwhile said, “There are very few moments in my career that will match the significance of this one. It’s been a team effort since Day One. We’ve fought hard, trained harder and none of us are surprised that we are here today. If anything, we are delighted. This team is going down history. We are the champions of India!”

“We could have gone for the moon. But that was never going to be the way we wanted to go about it. However, we are on the moon at the moment,” Club consultant Mandar Tamhane said after the game.

Congratulations from my side to Bengaluru FC for winning the I-League title!!!
