The 2021–22 Futsal Club Championship was the inaugural edition of the Futsal Club Championship, an annual futsal club tournament in India organised by the All India Football Federation (AIFF),[ 1] [ 2] being held in New Delhi.[ 3] It was initially planned to be organised in July–August 2020. However, due to COVID-19 pandemic , the championship was held from 5–13 November in K. D. Jadhav Indoor Hall of Indira Gandhi Arena.[ 4]
The Futsal Club Championship 2021 featured a total of 16 teams, who were divided into four groups, and played in a round-robin format. The highest-placed team from each group made it to the semi-final stage, which was played in a knockout format amongst the four teams. The winners of the tournament, Delhi FC, became the first-ever futsal champions of India, and thus India's first ever AFC Futsal Club Championship representative.[ 5]
Teams AIFF invited clubs playing in Indian Super League , I-League and state level futsal champions to participate in the inaugural season,[ 4] and 16 teams participated.
