Corbett Football Club[1] (previously Corbett Tigers) is an Indian professional football club based in Rudrapur, Uttarakhand. The club currently competes in Uttarakhand Super League[2] and has participated in 2021 I-League Qualifiers.[3]
History
Founded in 2013 as Amenity Sports Academy under Amenity Public School, the club was later functioning as Odisha FC academy branch, before rebranding as Corbett Tigers. Its 2021 I-League Qualifiers entry has been rather controversial because state association didn't conduct that year's qualifying tournament, directly nominating the club instead.[4] They began their 2021 I-League Qualifiers journey with a 1–1 draw against ARA FC on 5 October at the Bangalore Football Stadium, eventually finishing group on 4th position.[5]
