Subroto Cup Junior Boys International: The final of the 63rd Subroto Cup Junior Boys International Football Tournament will see an all Northeast clash on Wednesday. Myngken Christian Higher Secondary School, Ri-Bhoi, Meghalaya will take on T.G English School, Bishnupur, Manipur at the Ambedkar Stadium. The match will kick-off at 3:30 pm IST with Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari, PVSM, AVSM, VM, ADC, Chief of the Air Staff and Chairman, Subroto Mukerjee Sports Education Society, as the Chief Guest, and renowned Indian athlete and 2023 Asian Games silver medallist Harmilan Bains as the Guest of Honour.

T.G English School will look to be only the second school from Manipur to win the title in Subroto Cup after Ibemcha HSS won back to back titles way back in 1979 and 1980. The school from Bishnupur has already bettered their performance from the 2023 edition where they were knocked out in the semi-finals by the eventual champions Govt. Model SSS.

H. Imo Singh, coach, T.G English School said, "We are fully prepared, both mentally and physically, and confident about tomorrow's final. Our goal is to bring the trophy home to Manipur. We respect Meghalaya as a strong team and will not underestimate them. Having participated in the Subroto Cup four times, I can say it’s always been a great experience."
