Who are sponsors of NorthEast United FC in ISL 2024-25?
NorthEast United have impressed with their performance this year.
NorthEast United FC, the only Indian Super League (ISL) outfit from the northeastern part of the country, are based in Guwahati. Known as the Highlanders, the club has been playing its home matches at the Indira Gandhi Athletics Stadium since its inception on 13th April 2014.
NorthEast United FC represents the eight states in the region, making it the only football club in the world to represent an entire region. Northeast India is known for its football heritage. The region has produced many players for Indian football and remains one of the areas where the most professional footballers come from.
However, the club was not very successful in its first ten years. The club hit its lowest point during the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons. Despite having a stadium attendance averaging more than thirty thousand in its early days, their home match attendance dropped to just 5,000 per match last season. The main reasons for this decline were the club’s failure to win a major trophy and its inconsistency over the years.
However, since Mandar Tamhane’s arrival as Chief Executive Officer in May 2023 and Spanish tactician Juan Pedro Benali’s appointment as head coach, the club’s approach has changed. NorthEast United FC won its first silverware, the 133rd Durand Trophy, by defeating the powerhouse of Indian football, Mohun Bagan Super Giant, at Salt Lake Stadium. The team is also performing well in the ISL 2024-25 season.
With this momentum, let’s take a look at the sponsors of NorthEast United FC for the 2024-25 season.
