Meghalaya Govt Supports NorthEast United FC’s Vision To Make Shillong Football Capital, Says CEO Mandar Tamhane
Ahead of the game, Mandar Tamhane, CEO of NorthEast United FC, shed light on how the club’s move to Shillong came about and revealed some interesting anecdotes about the football fandom in Shillong. “When we played the semifinal of the Durand Cup against Shillong Lajong here, it was an eye-opener for me even though I’ve been involved in Indian football for over 25 years.
“The online tickets were sold out in 12 minutes and there were five km long queues for physical tickets. Fan parks in different districts were also jam-packed. We are a club representing eight states and we always wanted to bring football to parts of the Northeast. Seeing the response we got for the Durand Cup, reaffirmed our decision to come to Shillong this season itself,” he quoted while speaking to the ISL.
