Draws out for Junior Boys’ NFC and Junior Girls’ NFC Tier 1 and Tier 2

NEW DELHI: The draw of the Tier 1 and Tier 2 of the Junior Boys’ National Football Championship for Dr BC Roy Trophy 2024-25, along with Tier 1 and Tier 2 of the Junior Girls’ National Football Championship 2024-25 were conducted at the Football House, on Wednesday, June 26, 2024.
The Tier 1 of the Dr. BC Roy Trophy will be played in Narainpur, Chhattisgarh, from July 27 to August 12. The venue and dates for the Tier 2 will be announced later.
The Tier 1 of the Junior Girls’ National Football Championship will be played in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, from August 3 to 20. Tier 2 is at Belgaum, Karnataka from July 27 to August 9.
AIFF Acting Secretary General Mr. M Satyanarayan said before the draw, “This is perhaps the first time a draw ceremony is being conducted in the Football House without late Anil Kamat. Anil sir, who passed away early this month, played an integral role in shaping the Competition Department. It is with a heavy heart that we progress without him.” Late Anil Kamat was the Assistant General Secretary and Director of Competitions for many years before he passed away on June 4, 2024.
“We, at the AIFF, have worked extensively to establish a calendar for Indian football. While it is difficult to follow the calendar very strictly with so many variables, I am pleased to say that we have been able to follow it closely with regards to the junior NFCs,” said the AIFF Acting Secretary General.

The BC Roy Trophy Tier 1 will see 16 teams divided into four groups with the group winners progressing to the semi-finals. The BC Roy Trophy Tier 2 will have 19 teams divided into four groups – three groups with five and one group with four – with the group winners progressing to the semi-finals.
The Junior Girls’ NFC Tier 1 will have 16 teams equally divided into four groups and the four group winners will move to the semi-finals. The Junior Girls’ NFC Tier 2 will have 18 teams divided into four groups – two groups with five teams and two with four – and the four group winners will move to the semi-finals.
The 2023-24 edition of the BC Roy Trophy Tier 1 saw Uttar Pradesh being champions in Bhubaneswar and Delhi winning the Tier 2 title in Jabalpur.
Manipur were crowned champions of the Junior Girls’ NFC Tier 1 in Bhubaneswar, and Goa being the winners of Tier 2 in Jaipur.
