Why the Dolphin?
Every mascot has a story. Ours begins in the Bay of Bengal.
Before Neidhal FC had training grounds, we trained on the beach. During those early mornings, pods of dolphins would often swim just beyond the waves, sometimes only 30 feet from where we played. The dolphin became more than something we saw-it became part of our journey. Today, it proudly represents the club and the coastal roots that continue to define who we are.
