Format Change
For the 2016 season the I.F.C. will take a different format to before. All 14 clubs will be placed into a league consisting of 4 rounds of matches. The fixtures for each round will be determined by a random draw and no club can play each other twice in the league stage. After 4 rounds the top 8 placed teams will enter the quarter finals while the bottom 6 will enter the relegation final with 3 teams to be relegated. This is an effort to have 14 clubs to play in the 2017 I.F.C.
