History

[edit | edit source]

The Assam Football Association was formed in 1946, with Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed as its president and B. Roy Chowdhury as its secretary.[2] However, football had been played in the region even before the independence of India. It is affiliated to the AIFF, Assam council of sports and Assam Olympic Association. Manipur was part of Assam Football Association, until they gained affiliation with the AIFF in 1973. The Assam FA conducts inter-district football tournaments of various age groups for men and women as well as divisional football leagues in the state. AFA introduced the top division Assam State Premier League from 2008. Naba Kumar Doley is the current president and Dr. Sangrang Brahma the honorary secretary of Assam FA.[3][4]
