AT THE ROOT of every great sporting achievement is an endeavour seemingly impossible, undertaken by some dreamers who are willing to pursue it at any cost. With Aizawl FC, that dream survived through years of hardship, sacrifice, twists and turns stranger than fiction, and grew to become the symbol of a million aspirations wit the people of the tiny state of Mizoram rallying to their side.
Termed as 'India's own Leicester City moment', The people's Club, with a budget less than the salary of a star player in top clubs in the I-League, achieved the unthinkable when they rode over these behemoths to be crowned Champions of India.
Follow this incredible true story of India's unlikeliest victors, from the very roots that gave birth to club, their battle for existence during an era where the ecosystem favours the more fortunate than the talented, to a fairy-tale culmination of its epic journey in nationwide glory.
