Corbett FC Eye Historic Double: Home Advantage Fuels Title Defence
The much-anticipated draw for the upcoming national football tournament has concluded, dividing the participating teams into four groups. Three groups comprise four teams each, while one group features five teams. A fierce battle is expected, with only the top two teams from each group advancing to the quarter-finals.
Uttarakhand’s Corbett FC, the reigning champions, will be looking to make history. They secured their title last year with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Golazo FC in Vadodara on March 31, 2025. This year, they aim to become the first team to win the tournament twice, enjoying the added advantage of playing on home turf.
Delhi FC holds the distinction of winning the inaugural edition in 2021-22, followed by Minerva Academy FC’s triumph in 2022-23. This year’s tournament promises an exciting clash of titans, with several teams vying for the coveted trophy.
The tournament’s outcome will significantly impact the development of Indian football at the grassroots level, potentially unearthing new talent and elevating the profile of participating clubs. The stakes are high, and the nation watches with bated breath.
