Preview: Jamshedpur Vs
FC Goa
Jamshedpur: The year 2025 has witnessed a resurgence for Jamshedpur FC, with the team displaying a newfound confidence under the guidance of head coach Khalid Jamil. This has been evident in their impressive performances against Bengaluru FC and Mumbai City FC. A hard-fought draw against table-toppers Mohun Bagan further solidified their position as one of the strongest teams this season.
As they now welcome FC Goa in this home fixture, Jamshedpur FC will be aiming to maintain this positive momentum. While building upon their recent successes, coach Khalid Jamil will be keen to add to the club’s points tally.
FC Goa: After amassing 33 points in their 17 ISL games, Manolo Marquez’s men have had a resurgence of epic proportions this season. The free-scoring side have scored in each of their league games irrespective of the result and added two more to the tally against Chennaiyin FC.
Manolo Marquez’s side are unbeaten in their last 12 ISL games and are fighting Mohun Bagan Super Giant for the ISL Shield this season. Hence we can expect them to be the favourites against Jamshedpur FC.

About Indian Super League:
History
The Indian Super League (ISL) is the highest level of the men's Indian football league system. Administered by the AIFF and its commercial partner FSDL, the league is currently contested by 13 clubs.
The season runs from September to March and includes a 24-round regular season followed by playoffs involving the top six teams, culminating with the ISL Final to determine the ISL Cup winners. At the end of the regular season, the team with the most points is declared the ISL champions and presented with the League Winners' Shield. Until 2021–22 season, the ISL Cup winners were designated as champions but later from 2022–23 season, the champions design was given to table toppers instead of playoff champions.
Currently, the league only follows promotion in the promotion and registration processes. ISL clubs qualify for the Asian continental club competitions; League Shield winners qualify directly for the next season's AFC Champions League Two group stage.
The competition was founded on 21 October 2013 to grow the sport of football in India and increase its exposure in the country. Play began in October 2014 with eight teams. During its first three seasons, the competition operated without official recognition from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), the governing body for the sport in Asia. It was structured along the same lines as the Indian Premier League, the country's premier Twenty20 franchise-based cricket competition. Each season lasted just three months, from October to December, and matches were held daily. However, before the 2017-18 season, the league expanded to ten teams, expanded its schedule to six months, and earned recognition from the AFC. Two of India's most historic clubs - Mohun Bagan and East Bengal, also joined the ISL. With ATK disbanding, the 2020–21 season had 11 clubs competing.
The ISL attained the sole top-tier league status from the 2022–23 season with the I-League demoted to the second tier. The 2023–24 season saw a promoted team from the I-League participating in the ISL for the first time ever. Punjab FC, as the 2022–23 I-League champions, became the 12th team in the league. The following year, Mohammedan SC joined the league as the 13th club as champions of the I-League.
Since the league's inaugural season, six clubs have won the ISL Cup title: ATK (3), Chennaiyin (2), Mumbai City (2), Bengaluru (1), Hyderabad (1) and Mohun Bagan (1).
Since the introduction of the League Winners' Shield in the 2019–20 season, Mumbai City has won it twice, while FC Goa, Jamshedpur FC and Mohun Bagan have won it one time each.
