Of late, the newly rebranded Delhi FC has stayed busy nurturing talented players and promoting them to the highest level of Indian football.

The Dwarka based team recently lifted the first-ever AIFF organized Futsal League and the Delhi Senior Division League. Delhi FC were also the frontrunners in this year’s I-League qualification and had a decent outing in the Durand Cup.
