Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory has given many National-level football players, however the pace had ultimately slowed down.

Nevertheless, the emergence of football clubs from the Jammu & Kashmir, especially in the Kashmir region has produced many talented footballers, who played for Kashmir in India's national level football leagues.

Pertinently, the I-League 2nd Division tournament will offer a platform to all those clubs to display their talent and potential at the national level.
