Highlander Brigade, the supporter club of Indian Super League club, Northeast United FC, is gearing up for their off-season action-packed offseason football festivities.
The president of the supporter club Abhishek Lahkar speaking about the offseason football matches informed that this year they will organise the 2nd edition of the Ao Sangma Shield football tournament, All Assam Amateur Community Futsal Tournament, 16 teams, 5a side match knock out tournament, in collaboration with Assam football association on 2nd May and 5th edition of HB E-football tournament from 5th to 7th May.
“The main purpose is to give the footballers of the region a platform to showcase their talent, hone their skills, and most importantly have a good playing time. As in Assam, we have very little exposure for a footballer to play. We just want to fill that void to some extent through this tournament,” the supporter club president Abhisekh informed.
Founding member and current Advisory Committee member, Vikas Baruah informed that the club operates as an independent and non-profit supporters’ club that supports Northeast United FC
He also informed that the profits generated from these events are reinvested into supporters’ club activities such as creating large tifos, banners, graffiti art buying drums, etc., all aimed at promoting football and fan culture in the northeast region.
It is to be mentioned here that the Highlander Brigade is a Northeast United FC supporters’ organization comprised of students and professionals who support the team in the Indian Super League.
Pratyush Bhattacharyya, student and field team leader of the Highlander Brigade said, “This year, during the opening match of Northeast United against Mumbai City FC, we at Highlander Brigade unveiled Asia’s largest-ever handmade tifo. We were also involved in various social work activities, including collecting relief for flood victims and creating wall graffiti to promote football and other sports personalities like Mirabai Chanu in the region. Our main aim is to guide youngsters interested in football towards the right path.”
Another field team leader, Arnab Pathaksaid, “We have learned quite a lot from the last time and hopefully will conduct this year’s events in a much better way.”
