Real Kashmir Football Club is an Indian professional football club based in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir,[6] that competes in the J&K Premier Football League and I-League.[7][8] Nicknamed as the Snow Leopards, Real Kashmir is the first ever club from Kashmir that earned its promotion to compete in any top flight football league of the country.[9][10][11] Real Kashmir futsal section has been competing in the state league, as well as AIFF Futsal Club Championship, the top flight futsal club competition of the country.

History

Formation as a club

The seeds of Real Kashmir FC were sown in 2014 after devastating floods swept through the region causing massive loss of life and property. To keep the youth, who had lost much during the floods—engaged, Shamim Mehraj, editor of a local newspaper named "Kashmir Monitor", and Sandeep Chattoo,[3] a local businessman, came together to arrange footballers.[12][13]

What began as a community outreach programme garnered massive support from the local populace and it soon started evolving into something more. Real Kashmir FC as a club, formalised in 2016,[14][15] and affiliated with Jammu & Kashmir Football Association (JKFA) under the tireless efforts by Chattoo, currently the owner of the club.[16] Founded in 2016, Real Kashmir FC emerged as the first ever top flight professional football club in Jammu and Kashmir.[17][18]

Participation in tournaments

Shortly after its formation, the club participated in their first national competition in September 2016 when they competed in the 2016 Durand Cup.[19] In January 2017, Real Kashmir roped in David Robertson[20] as their new head coach, and in July, it became the first club from Jammu & Kashmir to play on foreign soil by playing 4 matches in Scotland. They appeared in their first major tournament by competing in the 2016–17 I-League 2nd Division,[21] but failed to reach to the final round.[22][23] They have been participating in all four categories of the AIFF.

In May 2018,[24] Real Kashmir FC earned promotion to the 2018–19 I-League by winning the 2017–18 I-League 2nd Division after defeating Hindustan FC in the final game of the season by a score of 3–2.[25][26][27]

On 30 May 2018, Real Kashmir became champions of the I-League 2nd Division. This was only their second season at this level, after the club's inception in 2016, earning promotion to the I-League for the first time ahead of the 2018–19 season. In 11 December 2018, they witnessed one of the league's biggest wins, after they thrashed Shillong Lajong FC by 6–1. Real Kashmir achieved third place in their debut season.[28]

In August 2018, the Real Kashmir FC youth team travelled to Germany for pre-season training with one of the best football clubs in the world: Borussia Dortmund (BVB). The youth team visited the training centers where official BVB teams train. They also visited the famous BVB stadium Westfalenstadion. They participated in 2019 Durand Cup and reached the semi-finals, but lost 3–1 to Mohun Bagan.[29]

On 19 December 2020, the Snow Leopards, as they are fondly called, added another golden chapter in their short yet eventful history by winning the 123rd edition of the IFA Shield tournament,[30] defeating George Telegraph at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.[31][32] It is the first major domestic triumph since their inception in 2016.[33]

For I-League 2021, they borrowed three players (Danish Farooq Bhat, Adnan Ayoub, Farhan Ganie) from J&K Bank Football Club.[34][35] In the 2020–21 I-League, the club finished their campaign in fifth place (Play-off), accumulating 21 points with 5 wins in 15 matches.[36][37]

As the defending champions of IFA Shield,[38] Real Kashmir began its 2021 edition campaign on 24 November with a 3–0 win over Indian Arrows.[39] They retained their title with a 2–1 win against Sreenidi Deccan on 15 December.[40] The club failed to make an impact in the 2021–22 I-League season and finished on twelfth place.[41]

The ground is operated by the Jammu & Kashmir Football Association and renovated in 2015.[49] It has artificial turf.
