2024 BISL Champs - Samarra FC

By BISL Admin 3/4/2024 8:18:47 AM

Hejaz and Samarra played a thrilling 2024 finals. Both teams had plenty of chances but the goalkeeping was superb. Samarra opened the scoring in the final minute of the first half with a dandy. Fawad Akram dangled on the sidelines to open up the defense, then finds Shahbaz Tayyub on the touchline who puts a perfect cross for Nasir Rehman to head home the opener. Hejaz had plenty of build-up and dominated possession for most of the 2nd half but couldn't connect in the final third of the pitch. With 5 minutes to go, Fawad Akram and Anas Mohammed played a fancy touch-and-go that was concluded by a top-shelf finish by Anas. The match finished 2-0 for Samarra. Samarra adds their third title as a franchise. Playoff MVP went to Hussam Ayubi who had two clean sheets in the playoffs along with an assist.

2023 BISL Champs - Sham FC

By BISL Admin 3/13/2023 1:52:10 PM

Masr and Sham played a dandy in the 2023 BISL Finals. Masr stuck first with Rameez Siddiqi fighting his way to a long ball from Shaheen Limbada and putting in a clincal finish. Aadhil Mohamed produced some solo magic to beat two defenders with his pace to put Masr up 2-0. Sham FC got a momentum building goal just before halftime on a free kick from Ovaiz Khan that found Ayaz Patel infront of the net to deflect it home. Sham found the equalizer midway through the 2nd half on a defensive breakdown that saw Muhammad Shah 1v1 with the goalie that squared up the game. Once again, the finals came down to penalty kicks. Shah - Miss, Aadhil - Goal, Ali Lone - Goal, Shaheen Goal, Ovaiz - Goal, Afnan - Miss, Abdo - Goal, Rameez - Goal, Ayaz - Goal, Sheraz - Miss... the penalties went to 2 extra kickers before Sham took home the victory. Sham FC complete the undefeated season. Congrats to both teams on an amazing display of footy and brotherhood. Sham FC take home their first title in team history.

Zero Tolerance Policy for Inappropriate Conduct

By BISL Admin 11/4/2019 8:46:37 AM

As we gear up for our sixth season, we wanted to highlight a few changes made to the rules this season. We want to remind all our players, while we take pride in the competitive balance, this is strictly a recreational league. We try our best to make this a safe and enjoyable experience for all our players. The Brotherhood and iIslamic values of this league are paramount and take priority over competition.

With that in mind, we will have a zero tolerance policy for any confrontations and aggressive play.

Rule changes:

1. A straight Red card will result in a minimum player fine of $20 and an automatic one game suspension. Any further punishment is at the discretion of the league. All fines must be paid before the teams next scheduled league match. Non-payment will result in the player not being eligible to play.

2. Hearings will only be conducted if any further punishment will need to be discussed.

3. Adjustment to punishment for Cards throughout the season:
