But what format and size of the new Bandodkar Gold Trophy would depend on what amounts of sponsorship, the GFA is able to generate. It could be an All-India affair with only I-League teams or a Goan affair with invitations to clubs from neighbouring Maharashtra. But one thing is clear that it would be a knock-out tournament.
