After an exciting group stage of the inaugural IWL 2 with goals galore in most matches, the tournament now enters its decisive phase with the Final Round. The winners and the runners-up of the three groups have made it to this stage making it six teams in this round. Pudhuvai Unicorns, Sreebhumi FC and FC Tuem were the group toppers of A, B and C with Garhwal United, Nita FA and SAG Football Academy finishing as runners-up respectively.
In the final round, each side will play each other in a single-leg round-robin format in a centralised zone as before. The teams finishing in the top two at the end of the round will become the first sides to be promoted to the IWL, the top-tier league in women’s football in India, for the next season. The final round will be represented by teams from six different states as well.
