Mumbai’s ONGC and Mumbai United will be among twenty one teams participating in the 2010 i-League Division Two qualifiers commencing on March 26 across three venues – Delhi, Bangalore and Tripura. 

 

The tournament will feature round-robin play with the teams divided into three groups of seven teams each with the top two qualifying for the final round where they will be joined by the two relegated outfits from last year’s i-League – Kolkata’s Mohammedan Sporting and Goa’s Vasco SC.

 

Debutants Mumbai United have gained entry as Maharashtra’s only entry after emerging victorious in the WIFA qualifiers last month.

Two teams at the end of the final round will be promoted to the 2010-11 i-League.
