“I was delighted to hear that Chennai City FC have been crowned 2018/19 I-League Champions. It gives me great pleasure to congratulate them for their first ever championship title,” wrote Infantino.
“This is, no doubt, the result of effort and hard work, and everybody involved can be proud of this great achievement.
