Shillong, March 22: A send-off ceremony for the U-17 football team of Myngken Christian Higher Secondary School, Bhoirymbong, was held on Saturday, wishing them success before their travel to Paris.

The runners-up of the Subroto Mukherjee Cup (U-17) Competition were selected to participate in the 2nd Edition of the Indo-French Football Tournament, scheduled to be held in Paris, France, from March 24 to 30, 2025. The team shall be the sole representatives of India, participating against four French Teams of the same age category.

Hamlet Dohling, Adviser to the Chief Minister, expressed joy at the team getting the opportunity to play at the international level. Stating that Meghalaya’s success begins from the grassroots level, he extended his best wishes to the team. He further urged the players to be disciplined while they are far away from their country and represent the country’s passion for the sport.

Dikki D. Shira, Director of the Sports and Youth Affairs Department, added that it is a good opportunity for the team to gain exposure not only to international football but also to the culture and way of life in other countries.

The team was invited to participate in the 2nd edition of the Indo-French Football Tournament by the Subroto Mukherjee Sports Education Society, after their commendable performances during the competition, held last year.
