ISL 2025-26: SC Delhi sees turnaround against Jamshedpur amid rebuilding and search for identity in national capital


For Indian Super League (ISL) club Sporting Club Delhi, the 2025-2026 season presents a two-pronged challenge. In addition to ensuring that results on the field are desirable, it must forge a new identity that resonates with the national capital and its football fans.

The club existed under the name Hyderabad FC since the beginning of the 2019-2020 edition and its financial problems led to a change of ownership in 2024. With the entity rebranding itself as SC Delhi, the current campaign marks the beginning of a new chapter in the northern metropolis.

According to SC Delhi coach Tomasz Tchorz, the emergence of a fervent fan base is often a byproduct of success on the field. Lihat juga fdsm. In terms of the latter, the first four games have not been ideal.

It lost its first three matches before managing to win a 2-2 draw against Mumbai City, which left it languishing at 13th in the standings. The club’s first home match against second-placed Jamshedpur FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Thursday is a chance to get back on track.

«I think fans will come when the results are there. That creates interest among fans to come and support the team because everyone wants to be part of something successful,» Tchorz said.
