There is set to be a debutant team in the I-League 2021-22 after Delhi FC, Kenkre, Madan Maharaj and Rajasthan FC qualified for the final round of the ongoing qualifiers.
Delhi and Madan Maharaj have fallen out of contention after matchday two of the final round matches. Rajasthan need just a point to confirm their I-League berth while Kenkre, too, stand a chance.
Out of the 18 teams nominated by their respective state associations, nine were selected to partake in the qualifiers from the preliminary rounds, among whom Bangalore United, Kerala United, ARA FC, Rynith FC and Corbett FC failed to make it to the final round.
