Swami Vivekananda U20 Men: Andhra Pradesh registered a 4-1 win against Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu in Group F of the Swami Vivekananda U-20 Men's National Football Championship (NFC) 2025, at the Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Ground in Narainpur, Chhattisgarh, on Sunday.

The winners led 3-1 at halftime. Marappa Gowda Sethu Madhav (8’), B. Bharat Kumar Reddy (37’), B. Veera Sai Harsha Vardhan (43’), and Badri Surendra Babu (72’) scored one each for Andhra Pradesh. Nikhil Nayak (32’) was the lone scorer for the losing side.

While Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu were eliminated from the competition after suffering back-to-back defeats in the three-team group, Andhra Pradesh, despite the victory, are left with a rather challenging task ahead to qualify for the quarterfinals.
