New Delhi [India], April 20 (ANI): Chanmari FC became the second and final team to secure promotion to I-League 2025-26. Despite losing 0-1 on home turf to Diamond Harbour FC, who claimed the I-League 2 title with the win, Chanmari were assured of a top-two finish after their nearest challengers, Sporting Clube de Goa, dropped points in a 1-1 draw at FC Bengaluru United, according to the AIFF Media Team.
With Chanmari FC now joining Aizawl FC in the I-League, it will mark the first time two clubs from Mizoram will be part of the league. With just one round to go, Chanmari have 30 points in 15 matches (nine wins, three draws and three losses) in the I-League 2 this season. Sporting Clube de Goa have 26 points and will finish in third place. Champions Diamond Harbour, who already secured promotion on April 11, sit pretty at the top with 37 points (11 wins and four draws). They will hope to finish the season unbeaten when they face Bengaluru United on April 26 in Naihati.
While the champions and promotion spots have been decided, the relegation battle has been pushed to the final day after TRAU FC's 3-2 win over Sports Academy Tirur on Saturday. Needing a win to keep survival hopes alive, TRAU clinched their first away victory of the season after a superb first-half display. They are now in eighth place with 12 points, two less than seventh-placed NEROCA FC.
It all comes down to the Imphal Derby between TRAU and NEROCA on April 26 to decide who gets relegated from the I-League 2. For NEROCA, a draw will do, while TRAU need a win to survive. Bottom side KLASA FC, who are on seven points, have already been relegated. (ANI)
