Srinagar based football club, Lone Star Kashmir FC managed to qualify for the final round of second division I-League recently after playing a 1-1 draw against ARA FC in its last qualifying match but there is still uncertainty over its participation as its home venue in Srinagar is yet to get confirmation to host matches.
Lone Star Kashmir FC was forced to play its home matches in qualifying round at Katra, Jammu instead of Srinagar's TRC Turf ground and that multiplied the problems of the club that has been in financial trouble lately. The costs of playing even home matches away from home multiplied the costs for cash-starved club and it is now contemplating to step out of the final round.
