Indian Super League 2018: NorthEast United FC to face FC Goa as first opponent

GUWAHATI: The fixture list of the 2018/19 Indian Super League is out and a series of exciting matches seem to be coming your way! 

NorthEast United FC (NEUFC) will face FC Goa in their opening match at NEUFC's home ground at Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium, Guwahati.

NorthEast United have also announced the signing of a new Forward, Juan Cruz Mascia. The Uruguayan was a star at the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup and has now linked up with NEUFC ahead of the 2018/19 season.

NorthEast United will be hoping for a change in fortunes as the 2018/19 season approaches. So far, the side from North-East is the only one of the original eight who have yet to finish in a playoff spot.

However, with new manager, Eelco Schattorie at the helm NEUFC will feel that this is the year they break the curse.

The Indian Super League is one of the two premier football leagues in India, the other being the I-League. However, despite I-League's history, ISL has been far more appealing to the audience due to its extravagance.
