FC Bardez, formed this year, is currently top of the ongoing Goa Pro League and is coached by former Dempo and East Bengal manager Armando Colaco.

Minerva finished second in the final round of the second division league last year with 18 points from 10 matches. Dempo SC won the second division.

If these two clubs are on board by January 7 when the I-League is scheduled to start, it will be an 11-team affair. As of now, nine teams are tipped to participate.
