New Delhi [India], November 28 : Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Friday launched Sudeva Delhi FC for the upcoming season of I-League.

The Delhi Deputy Chief Minister took pride in the fact that a team from the national capital will be playing in the national-level league once again.
"As a person from Delhi, it fills me with pride to see that a team from our city will be participating in the I-League in Kolkata from January 9," the AIFF website quoted Sisodia as saying.
"It gives us, the Delhi people, a sense of belonging when we see the fixtures that our very own team will also be playing out there. I commend the dedication with which everyone at the club has worked to make this a reality," he added.
Sudeva Delhi FC president Anuj Gupta, in turn, thanked the state government for showing its support to the club that will be participating in the I-League this season.
