A record seven teams from East Zone confirmed their spot in the semi-finals of the Reliance Foundation Youth Sports (RFYS) 2019-20 National Football Finals.

On the final day of the group stages, Titaguri High School from Assam became the first team in season four’s finals to score twelve goals in a game here at the Reliance Corporate Park Ground in Ghansoli, Navi Mumbai today.

Maidangshri Narzary scored eight herself against their Dehradun opponents as the team from Kokrajhar will now face Nilmani English School from Imphal in an all-East Zone affair in the final four. St Joseph’s from Rohtak topped Group B in the School Girl’s category with a 6-0 win.

It will be another face-off between Assam and Manipur as the youngest athletes of the tournament from Betkuchi High School, Guwahati and The Unique Model Academy, Imphal lock horns in the Sub Junior semi-finals. Progress High School are the sole survivors from Goa in the tournament in this category, which has been introduced this season onwards.
