Background

edit

In the view of ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the entire season of Indian Super League was decided to be played in the empty stadiums in Goa. The tournament was scheduled to be played at three venues, Nehru Stadium in Fatorda, Tilak Maidan Stadium in Vasco da Gama and G.M.C Stadium in Bambolim.[5]

On 29 August, Albert Roca parted ways with the Hyderabad to join the F.C. Barcelona as fitness coach under Ronald Koeman.[1] On 31 August, Manolo Márquez took charge as new head coach of the Hyderabad.[2]
