History
The Punjab State Super Football League was started in 1986 by the Punjab Football Association.[4] However, during the early days the league was played as a knock-out tournament for at least one week, thus was not granted state league status by the All India Football Federation till 2001.[5] In 2001, the Punjab Football Association reformed the league to make it more into a league which would be played on a home and away basis. This thus earned the league its "state league" status.[5]
In 2014, the Punjab State Super Football League was relaunched with JCT Limited as the title sponsors.[5] The league would also be played in a number of different cities to promote grassroots football and prize money would be given out to provide an incentive for teams participating.[5]
