YMCA Madras beat YMCA Aizawl 5-1 in the final of 1st All-India Inter-YMCA Futsal Tournament 2023 at Don Bosco HS Artificial turf, Panaji.
The three-day tournament was jointly organised by YMCA Panaji and YMCA Bombay and drew to a grand conclusion on Tuesday night on the occasion of National Sports Day.
YMCA Madras started well and maintained their upper hand over the proceedings throughout the match. They led 2-1 at half time. The title clash was a fast-paced affair and saw some great skills being exhibited. Though Aizawl were pegged to be the favourites, YMCA Madras put on a stellar show. Earlier, a women’s exhibition match saw FC Tuem A and FC Tuem B in action.
India Futsal team coach Joshua Vaz congratulated the organisers for conducting the event as per the rules and regulations spelt out at the workshop under his guidance. “Futsal is a growing sport and is one of the best ways to develop footballers,” he asserted.
