The encounter will be the first ever friendly between a Premier League club and an Indian Super League club and promises to be a fantastic afternoon during the first international break of the 2016/17 season of the Premier League.

This is the latest link-up between the Baggies and the Lions, who are managed by Italy’s World Cup-winning full-back Gianluca Zambrotta, after a number of successful technical associations over the past one year including the loan deal of Adil Nabi to the Delhi Dynamos FC where he had a successful 2015 season of the Hero Indian Super League.

Prashant Agarwal, President, Delhi Dynamos FC said, “It is a proud moment for the Delhi Dynamos FC to be the first ever Indian club to play a match against a Premier League side and also the first Indian Super League side to play in the birthplace of football, England. Indian football is an expanding and a progressive industry, the world is watching us and we at Delhi Dynamos FC believe in rising to the occasion and establishing our presence.”

“This game is also to reach out to the Asian community in England, Birmingham in particular. West Bromwich Albion FC has been a brother club to the Delhi Dynamos, and we will continue to take this association forward by many more developments in the near future.” Agarwal added.

Delhi Dynamos FC has associated itself with seven social causes as part of their CSR initiative. The friendly between West Bromwich Albion FC and Delhi Dynamos FC will garner proceeds towards multiple charitable foundations.
