Indian Arrows (formerly known as Pailan Arrows) was an Indian developmental football team that competed in the I-League.[2][3] The club was formed by the All India Football Federation in 2010, with a main goal of nurturing young Indian football talents.[4]
After disbanding in 2013, the project was revived as Indian Arrows in 2017. In September 2022, the technical committee of the All India Football Federation decided to discontinue the participation of the Indian Arrows in the I-League because of the difficulty in fulfilling the AFC licensing criteria. Instead, the funding was decided to invest in the youth competitions such as Reliance Foundation Development League.[5]
