Chennai,
India, 18th February 2026: The
fifth edition of the Intellion Futsal League (IFL Season 5) successfully
concluded at Chennai’s Intellion Park – reaffirming the league’s
evolution from a competitive corporate futsal tournament into a multi-city,
purpose-led corporate sports platform. What began four seasons ago with 12
teams in a single city has today grown into a league featuring over 100 corporate
teams across Intellion offices by Tata Realty in Gurgaon and Chennai, building
a strong identity anchored in participation, pride, and community.
Designed
to scale with intent, the Intellion Futsal League has expanded each season,
strengthening matchday experiences, deepening engagement, and embedding social
and environmental responsibility into its core framework. Season 5 demonstrated
how corporate sports can go beyond competition to create meaningful and
measurable impact.
Season
5 recorded a 50% increase in participation compared to Season IV. Citi
emerged as champions in the men’s category, while Taj Wellington Mews
clinched the title in the women’s category. Over the season, 124 matches
were played and 365 goals were scored, translating into 36 football
kits committed for contribution in Chennai.
Commenting
on the league’s growth and purpose, Mr. Ritesh Sachdev, Senior Vice
President and Head of Leasing and Asset Management, Tata Realty and
Infrastructure Ltd., said:
“The Intellion Futsal League has evolved into much more than a sporting
event. It reflects how we approach community-building across our
assets—bringing people together through shared experiences while being mindful
of our social and environmental responsibilities. Season 5 reinforces our
belief that sports can be a powerful platform for inclusion, engagement, and
positive impact.”
Anchored
in the philosophy of ‘Play for Good,’ Season 5 integrated purpose both
on and off the field. The league featured both men’s and women’s teams,
reinforcing inclusivity in corporate sports. Extending its community outreach,
football kits were pledged for donation for every 10 goals scored during the
season.
In line with Intellion’s long-standing
ESG-driven approach to responsible real estate, the league was designed to
minimise its environmental impact. Jerseys and shorts worn during the league
were made from recycled PET bottles, sustainable fabric branding replaced
plastic flex across venues, and single-use plastic was reduced through
shared hydration stations. Matches were powered using green gensets, while
digital-first initiatives such as paperless certificates and a centralised
digital photo library helped minimise material waste.
Beyond
trophies and scorelines, Intellion Futsal League Season 5 reinforced its core
objective, using sports as a catalyst to promote well-being, strengthen
professional networks, and create positive social and environmental outcomes.
As the league continues to grow across cities, its legacy is increasingly
defined not just by competition, but by the impact it delivers beyond the
field.
