Nagaland United to host Gokulam Kerala in Chümoukedima on November 14
The club seeks to maintain momentum after winning their opening Indian Football League match against Real Kashmir.
Nagaland United will play Gokulam Kerala in Chümoukedima on November 14, according to The News Mill. The club is looking to build on their 3-1 away victory against Real Kashmir, which took place in Srinagar on October 30.
The club currently sits third in the standings after their single match. Nagaland United, founded in Chümoukedima in 2024, entered the national league following a goodwill agreement with Aizawl FC that was approved by the All India Football Federation on September 9.
In their opening game, JH Remlala scored within three minutes, followed by a goal from Vanlalhriatzuala. Although an own goal by captain Rohmingthanga reduced the lead, Vanlalhriatzuala scored again late in the match to secure the win.
Coach Kaizad Ambapardiwalla noted that having little time to prepare meant the priority was helping the players understand the team's playing style and building group confidence. Rohmingthanga, a former Aizawl defender, said leading the club to a win at the start of its journey meant a lot.
Under-20 graduate Ghuqhe Chishi said he is looking forward to representing Nagaland and playing on home ground. The club's board has made the inclusion of Naga players a guiding principle.
The Indian Football League season includes one promotion spot to the Indian Super League at stake over the full home-and-away campaign.
