GANGTOK, 03 Oct: An upbeat mood prevails in the United Sikkim Football Club camp as its official debut in senior division I-League draws near. Bhaichung’s USFC has reason to be confident, given that it broke into the I-League on its second attempt itself and is itself the result of Bhaichung’s dream to provide players with a professionally managed outfit. The manner in which Bhaichung has nurtured the club and the passion with which he has ‘professionalised’ it  are obvious to all, and the moment has arrived.
Speaking to media persons recently, Bhaichung shared that USFC will be going all out to maintain a flawless home-game record at the I-League this season. Interestingly, I-League opens with a USFC home-game on 06 October when the club hosts Dempo SC at Paljor Stadium. USFC has 13 home matches spread out from 06 Oct to 28 April 2013.
Underlining that I-League is the top tier of Indian football, he invited football fans to make it for the matches in strong numbers to get a chance to watch the country’s best teams in contest with the home-club. “Some of the football clubs will be seen playing in these parts for the first time,” he added.
He further informed that important delegates and personalities from within and outside the country will also be visiting Gangtok during the matches, with an Asian Football Confederation delegation arriving here on 05 October, the eve of the inaugural match, to inspect the arrangements.
USFC is sparing no efforts to host the matches flawlessly and experts have been hired to ensure better organization of I-League matches in Sikkim, he said.
As for the facilities, he further informed that anti-doping and medical rooms have also been set up in the stadium and added that sports channel Ten Action will telecast at least two of the 13 matches live.
