Wikipedia - IFA Shield
The IFA Shield is an annual football competition organized by the Indian Football Association, the football governing body in the Indian state of West Bengal. The IFA came into existence in 1893, and named after the association, the IFA Shield tournament was started in the same year. It is the third oldest football tournament in India, after Durand Cup and Trades Cup, and is among the oldest football competitions in the world.
History
The royal houses of Patiala and Cooch Behar, A.A. Apcar of Armenian Club and J Sutherland of Dalhousie AC had financially contributed for the inception of the Shield. The coveted shield was designed by Walter Locke & Co. (Calcutta) and constructed by Messrs Elkington & Co. (London).
During the initial years of the competition, the IFA Shield was dominated by British Army teams and the Royal Irish Rifles defeated W.D.R.A. to lift the first IFA Shield in 1893. However, their stranglehold over the Shield was broken in 1911, when Mohun Bagan became the first all-Indian side to win the IFA Shield by defeating East Yorkshire Regiment by 2–1. That was a historic moment for Indian football as well the struggle for independence, as the natives beat the Englishmen in their own game. While the Royal Irish Rifles remains the most successful British Army side with 5 titles, East Bengal Club has won the IFA Shield a record 29 times.
From 2015 to 2018, the IFA Shield was designed as an youth tournament wherein youth teams of all divisions were allowed to participate. The decision was taken by IFA due to busy schedule of AIFF which includes Indian Super League, I-League, I-League 2nd Division, State leagues and Super Cup among others. In 2020, the tournament was once again organised as a senior event.
A torna eleinte csak kalkuttai klubok részvételével zajlott, de az évek során más indiai és nemzetközi klubok is csatlakoztak. A torna jelenleg egy kieséses formátumot követ, ahol a csapatok egy mérkőzésen döntenek a győzelemről.
Az IFA Shield egy rangos torna, és sok nagyszerű játékos és csapat nyerte meg az évek során. A torna győzteseinek listáján olyan nevek szerepelnek, mint a Mohun Bagan, az East Bengal és a Kolkata.
Az IFA Shield egy fontos esemény az indiai labdarúgás naptárában, és segített népszerűsíteni a játékot az országban. A torna egyben a hazai játékosok számára is jó lehetőség, hogy megmutassák tehetségüket, és lehetőségük legyen nemzetközi klubok ellen játszani.
