Jamshedpur FC is one of the Indian Super League (ISL) clubs to have secured the Indian Club Licensing System (ICLS) Premier 1 License from Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and All India Football Federation (AIFF) for the 2021-22 season. The results were communicated to the clubs on Saturday evening by the AIFF.

The License grants Jamshedpur FC admission to play in ISL, all AFC competitions and AIFF recognised competitions. The club has received the license 3-years in a row.

Jamshedpur FC CEO, Mukul Choudhari said, “We are glad to have secured the ICLS Premier 1 License by complying to all criteria required for the same. The support provided by AIFF has been very encouraging and supportive during the extensive process of Club Licensing, especially considering how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected us all. Jamshedpur FC is committed to contribute to the development of a professional system of football in the country in conjunction with AIFF and AFC by complying to the ICLS guided by the values of Tata Steel.”

Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the AFC and AIFF have been considerate enough to accommodate criteria exceptions throughout the licensing cycle of 2021-22 season.
