The Delhi Defenders are a men's professional American football team representing Delhi, India, who will begin competing in the Elite Football League of India in November 2012.[1] The Defenders' matches for the inaugural season will not be held in Delhi, as league officials have planned to hold all matches in Pune for the first year, since venues in other cities have not been announced.[2]
The Defenders will be one of ten teams competing in the EFLI's first season. The EFLI will be India's first professional American football league, and its launch is backed by the Government of India and the Sports Authority of India. A roster of players, coaches and team personnel as well as a site for permanent play in Delhi is yet to be announced, although training camps for interested parties have already been held in 2011.[3][4]
