The All India Football Federation (AIFF) on Sunday gave Chennai City FC and Minerva Punjab FC the right to take part in the I-Leagues 2016-17 season.The decision was taken after the federation evaluated bids from five clubs. Neroca FC, Sudeva FC and FC Bardez Goa were the others in the running. The AIFF had started a fresh round of tendering for the right to field a team in the I-League on November 25.With Chennai City FC and Minerva Punjab FC joining the fray now, we have 10 teams competing in the next I-League, said AIFF general secretary Kushal Das. Now, we have representatives from Chennai and Punjab, which means well reach out to more supporters and newer markets.The eight other teams in the league are Bengaluru FC, Mohun Bagan, East Bengal, Lajong, Aizawl, Mumbai FC, DSK Shivajians and Churchill Brothers.Minerva Punjabs presence will mean all four regions of the country will have a team in the I-League for the first time since 2010-11 -- when JCT opted out of the league.On December 8, the AIFF had reinstated Goas Churchill Brothers Sports Club in the I-League. The club had been dropped from the league in 2014 -- along with Mohammedan Sporting and Rangdajied United -- after failing to fulfil club licensing criteria.Churchill Brothers will be the only Goan club in the league this time following the decision of Salgaocar FC, Sporting Clube de Goa and Dempo Sports Club to pull out in protest against the proposed merger of the I-League and the Indian Super League.Last month, after Sporting Clube de Goas decision to withdraw from the I-League, the AIFF had initiated retendering for the right to field a team for the 2017 season. The league will begin on January 7. Danny Green Jersey . -- Linebacker Myles Jack ran for four touchdowns, defensive end Cassius Marsh caught a scoring pass, and No. Malik Rose Jersey .

Its 1987 and a Brazilian playmaker, known as Mirandinha, is being paraded around St James Park to the passionate Newcastle fans. GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Kentucky no longer has to look back a decade or two to find a game in which it played Florida close.The Wildcats (0-1) gave the Gators (1-0) all they could handle the last two seasons, but Kentucky is not looking for morale victories. Kentuckys futility against Florida has reached 29 consecutive losses, the longest current run in major college football between teams that play annually.The Cats will try to prevent it from becoming a three-decade skid Saturday in Gainesville in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams.I always say every year is a new year and a new team, Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said. Last years game -- win or lose -- is behind you. But I definitely think that our players will respond and play well. ... We know it is a real challenge. We know that we have to play very well or we will not have a shot.Both teams are looking to rebound from disappointing Week 1 performances, although in different ways.Kentucky failed to score in the second half, squandering an 18-point lead and losing 44-35 at home to Southern Miss.Florida, meanwhile, was far from content with its 24-7 victory against UMass, which gave up 48 or more points four times in 2015. The Gators finished with 363 yards and no turnovers, but had only a handful of big plays against what should have been an overmatched opponent.But Kentucky should have a little extra incentive, its last win in the series came in 1986, in Lexington, and they have to go back to 1979 to find their last win in Gainesville.There have been several close calls since, most notably in 1993, 2003 and the last two meetings. Florida escaped in triple overtime in 2014 thanks in part to a fourth-down touchdown that included a questionable no-call.It was a crazy finish, Gators linebacker Jarrad Davis recalled. And its something that I dont want to have happen again. It was a roller-coaster that I didnt want to be on for a while, but it came out our way. So I just want to make sure that we hhandle business.ddddddddddddDavis and his defensive teammates did their part last year on the road, holding Kentucky to 241 yards and three field goals in a 14-9 win that kept the streak alive.Its there, Florida coach Jim McElwain said. The biggest piece to me is that was done by teams before. ... Those streak things, I dont know. I think its something to write about. But really every years different. Right now its 0-0. These two teams have never played, and I think thats the key.---Some other things to know about Kentucky and Florida heading into the game:ANOTHER STREAK: The Gators have another streak on the line, one they would like to end. Florida has failed to score 30 points in 10 consecutive games, the programs longest such streak since before Steve Spurrier arrived in 1990. The last time the Gators failed to reach 30 points in 11 straight games was in 1979, a winless season.WILDCATS WIDEOUTS: Maligned the past few years for dropped passes, Kentucky receivers had an impressive opener against Southern Miss. Garrett Johnson, a Florida native who caught six passes for 154 yards and two long TDs in Gainesville in 2014 -- had six catches for 143 yards and two scores. Jeff Badet and Kayaune Ross also had TD receptions.SUSPENSIONS OVER: Florida could have four players make season debuts. Cornerback Jalen Tabor and tight end Cyontai Lewis were suspended for the opener for fighting in practice. Freshmen receivers Tyrie Cleveland and Rick Wells were suspended for firing BB guns in a residence hall in July. Cleveland and Wells might not play because of hamstring injuries.BEING HONORED: Florida will honor its 2006-07 mens basketball team, which won back-to-back national championships. Coach Billy Donovan, Joakim Noah, Al Horford and Corey Brewer are among those expected on hand.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
