The 2019–20 season is Indian Arrows' 6th competitive season in the top-flight of Indian football, I-league. Indian Arrows was formed in 2010 on the behest on then Indian team coach, Bob Houghton, with the main goal of nurturing young talent in India in the hope of qualifying for 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[1] It was disbanded by AIFF in 2013 when their club sponsor, Pailan Group, could not financially support the group.[2] But revived again in 2017-18 season immediately after FIFA U-17 World Cup.
