The boys are excited about the prospect of getting an opportunity to play against a quality side which will help them improve their game," an official of the Real Kashmir FC said.

Real Kashmir FC made their I-League debut last season and had mixed results, winning three of their six fixtures in the preliminary round.

While cross-town rivals Lonestar Kashmir FC topped the group and qualified for the final round, Real Kashmir FC lost out to Delhi United on goal difference after both the teams were locked on nine points.
