Exhibition Game: Hyderbad Skykings vs. Bangalore Warhawks



It is almost time. About a month from now the EFLI shall hold the first known and announced exhibition game to prepare for Season 2.

The Hyderbad Skykings vs. the Bangalore Warhawks. Two teams who have the potential to be the most improved for Season 2.

This game, which should be a tradition every year, was the first flood light game ever played in India, so hopefully it will have a huge turnout for fans.

Things to hope for in a month:


  • THE RULES OF FOOTBALL. Hopefully new fans can watch this game, and use it to learn the rules of American football to prepare them for the upcoming season.
  • BENCH PLAYERS. Let's be honest, you can't risk playing stars like Roshon Lobo and Ron Banda for the whole game with the chance of injury. Let some of the bench player play most of the game to gain experience.
  • CAN THE SKYKINGS HANDLE THE SPOTLIGHT? Now the only owned team in the EFLI, can they handle the pressure of having high expectations? #TwirlUp
  • WILL LOBO HAVE A SLUMP? Lobo won the MVP last season, but like all players, could he possibly be surpassed by a rookie or maybe other great backs like Lalit Saini or Ram Rahul?
  • INNOVATIONS? Time to test out some new plays and innovative formations that teams should test now before the season starts.
The countdown has begun. Football is coming back, India.
