From believing in the team to flocking their stadium in numbers throughout the season, the Aizawl fans remained their 12th man throughout the journey.

Not only during home matches, the fans have been omnipresent throughout the country wherever the team traveled.

But other than just supporting the side through thick and thin, the traveling Aizawl fans created an example on Sunday.

After witnessing their team lifting the historic title, the fans took the initiative to clean the Shillong Stadium before leaving.

It was the first time that an Indian club's fans took such a noble initiative. A few years back, a similar drive was taken by a Japanese football club's fans in Japan.
