The Pune Football League is a football competition overseen by the Poona District Football Association in Pune District of Maharashtra.[1] It follows a ladder-based structure and includes four divisions with over 100 teams.[2] The league encompasses teams from various locations across Pune District, the city of Pune, spanning from Pimpri-Chinchwad to Hadapsar.[3][4] During the pre-season phase, clubs conduct trials, and the final roster is registered with the Mumbai District Football Association. The initial round-robin phase of the league typically lasts for three months, and the top-performing clubs proceed to a month-long post-season phase.
