Aizawl FC became the first club from the North-East to win the I-League title as its 1-1 draw in the final fixture, at Shillong Lajong, was enough for it to bag the historic gong. ▲

Fans wait outside the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium as they prepare to enter the premises. The 'Red Army' are a group of dedicated Aizawl fans who travel with the team across the country to drum up support for the players. ▲
