2019 Santosh Trophy final kicks-off in Ludhiana!

The final round of the 2018-19 Santosh Trophy kicked-off at the Guru Nanak Stadium in Ludhiana, Punjab on Monday, April 8.

The Qualifiers, which were held across five zones from around the country, saw as many as 10 teams make it to the finals.

Interestingly, both of last year’s finalists – champions Kerala and runners-up Bengal – two of the most successful teams in the history of the competition, have failed to qualify for the final round.

The tournament has been divided into two groups. While Group A consists of Delhi, Odisha, Meghalaya, Goa and Services, Group B comprises of Maharashtra, Sikkim, Karnataka, Assam, and hosts Punjab.

The top two teams from each group will make it to the semifinals, which are scheduled to be held on April 19, while the final will be held on April 21.

On the opening day, Services and Goa played out a 1-1 draw, while Delhi beat Meghalaya 1-0.
