Final round

Malabar United and Hindustan Aeronautics from Group A, SESA and ONGC from Group B and NISA and Oil India FC from Group C qualified for the final round. They will be joined by the sides having been relegated from the 2008–09 I-League, Mohammedan Sporting Club from Kolkata and Vasco Sporting Club from Goa. As in the first round, each club will play a single match against every other team of the group. All matches will be played at Bangalore.

Preview of final round

Eight teams will vie for a place in the next year ONGC I-League as Second Division final round goes underway from 30 April at the KSFA Stadium, Bangalore. With two last year relegated teams (Mohammedan Sporting and Vasco SC ) and with six qualifiers from the preliminary round viz. NISA (Manipur), ONGC (Mumbai), Sesa Football Academy (Goa), Oil India (Assam), Malabar United (Kerala) and the local side HAL (Bangalore) the final round is all set to be a blockbuster event. It will be clash of two Goan outfit in the opening match as Vasco SC will take on their city rival Sesa Football Academy that will kick off at 1400 hrs, while HAL will host Malabar United in the second encounter of the day that will start at 1600 hrs. The preliminary round performance will surely boost all the qualifiers but final round is totally a different ball game and it was clearly seen in the last year's final round, when Sesa Football Academy after putting an impressive display in the first round, went on to go down in all the crucial final round matches. The most surprising team of the lot was without a doubt Kerala based side Malabar United, who kept their domination in the Group A even with the likes of HAL, SBT and BEML.[1]

The best two teams from the final round will qualify for the 2010–11 I-League.[2][3]

Round 1 summary

Saturday, 1 May 2010: Vasco and HAL lead the pack after Round 1. After splitting points in the first game, former I-league team, Mohammedan Sporting is languishing at the lower half.

Round 2 summary

Thursday, 5 May 2010: Former I-league division 1 team, HAL leads the table after their morale boosting win over Oil India.
