SRINAGAR- Downtown Heroes FC emerged triumphant in the Srinagar Premier League 2023, showcasing unparalleled skill, teamwork, and determination throughout the season. The team’s remarkable performance culminated in their title as champions after playing a total of 20 matches, with an impressive record of 18 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw.
This Premier Division win is a testament to Downtown Heroes’ prowess on the field but also marks a significant milestone as the first private club to secure the prestigious Srinagar Premier League title. Since 2017, JK Bank FC had dominated the league, making this victory a momentous occasion in the football landscape of Srinagar.
“Downtown Heroes’ journey to victory was defined by their unwavering commitment to excellence and a community-driven approach. As a community-based football club, they have garnered widespread support, making them the most followed team in the league. This victory not only establishes them as champions but solidifies their role as a unifying force within the community,” the club said in a statement.
The Heroes also participated in the prestigious Durand Cup this year, showcasing their talent on a broader stage. Downtown Heroes’ dedication to both community engagement and competitive success sets them apart in the football realm, fostering a legacy that goes beyond the pitch.
That’s a significant milestone for J&K football with DFA Srinagar conducting 220 matches in which each team got 21 matches to play in round robin format.
Downtown’s Heroes emerged first, JK Bank second and STFC Natipora third. The league was sponsored by New JK Roadways in collaboration with J&K Sports Council. The award ceremony is yet to be conducted.
