Gangtok, Oct 4:  Bhaichung Bhutia said that United Sikkim Football Club (USFC) will go all out to maintain a flawless home game record at the I-League this season.




"USFC is confident of doing well and will try to maintain a flawless home game record," Bhutia told reporters here yesterday.

The I-League will open this season with USFC hosting Dempo SC at Paljor stadium here on October 6.

USFC is sparing no efforts to host the matches flawlessly and experts have been hired to ensure better organization of I-League matches in Sikkim, he said.

As for the facilities, Bhutia informed that anti-doping and medical rooms have also been set up in the stadium and added that sports channel Ten Action will telecast at least two of the 13 matches live.
