SHILLONG, Sep 23: After 18 months largely devoid of sporting activity due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Meghalaya Football Association will bring together 17 teams in the Meghalaya State Futsal League from 27 September 2021.
The league is set to run until 2 October at the Sports Authority of India facility at NEHU, Shillong.
The fast-paced futsal action will see participating sides being divided into groups.
The prize for the teams include securing a place in the National Futsal League, organised by the All India Football Federation.
Speaking on the upcoming competition, Meghalaya Football Association President, Larsing Ming Sawyan, said, “The MFA is excited at being able to host the first state-level sporting event in Meghalaya for many months.
“Players, fans, officials, everyone must be looking forward to getting sports back and the athletes have been training hard in preparation. Our thanks go to the AIFF, the Government of Meghalaya, Deputy Commissioner of East Khasi Hills’ office and all others who have helped make this event possible.”
