Guwahati City FC is all set to host second Guwahati Futsal Festival!

After the mammoth success of the Summer Soccer Camp where over 150 football enthusiasts from all over the region participating in the camp, Guwahati City FC is all set to organise the second season of the Guwahati Futsal Festival.

The tournament will be held on September 15/16 at the Deshbhakta Tarun Ram Phukan Indoor Stadium at R.G. Baruah Sports complex in Guwahati. While the first season witnessed participation of 48 teams from all over the Northeast, this year however the organisers have restricted the number of slots to 32.

It was in April this year when directors of GCFC, Lio Sengrang and Kaustab Chakraborty had floated the idea of organizing the first-ever futsal tournament under the banner of Guwahati Futsal Festival.

“It has not been too long ago that futsal was introduced to the nation and through the tournament we are towards promoting football and provide the players a platform to showcase their talent. The first season had helped us create a base of the indoor format of football and now we are all set to take it to the next level,” said Lio Sengrang, one of the organisers behind the initiative.

He also added that apart from futsal extravaganza the event will also hold skill based and freestyle football competitions.

The tournament will be played 5vs5 A-Sides as per the rules of the Futsal Association of India with prize money worth Rs 50,000. Interested teams can contact the organisers under 8638698279 or 9706570219, or they can contact them through the Guwahati City FC Facebook page.
