The Auction
Where teams take shape and legends begin
Welcome to the heart of the Saifee Burhani Football League excitement: the Player Auction. The SBFL auction is an eagerly awaited event where team owners and captains strategize, bid, and build their rosters with the league's most talented players. With a dynamic grading system, players are classified into four distinct categories — each representing varying levels of skill, experience, and potential.
Elite
The marquee names
A-level
Proven match-winners
B-level
Dependable all-rounders
C-level
Rising talent
A game within a game
In the auction, the team captains and owners bid on players with a starting “base price” for each grade. The bidding moves up in increments of 10 points with each bid, creating an electric atmosphere of strategy, suspense, and anticipation. The ultimate goal? To form the best lineup, uniting players across different grades into a powerhouse team.
