The Sikkim junior girls’ football squad has travelled to Chhattisgarh to compete in the National Football Championship for junior women.
A contingent of young female footballers from Sikkim has set out for the National Junior Girls’ Football Championship being hosted in Chhattisgarh. The tournament, organized by the All India Football Federation, gathers state teams from across the country to provide a platform for emerging talent.
The Sikkim Football Association selected the squad after a series of district-level trials, aiming to give the players exposure to higher-level competition. Coaches and officials accompanying the team hope the experience will boost skill development and confidence among the juniors.
The championship is scheduled to commence later this week, with matches to be played in various venues across the host state. Sikkim’s representatives will face peers from other states, seeking to make a strong impression on the national stage.
