The grand opening ceremony was attended by MLA Th Biswajit as the chief guest.
Speaking at the programme, Biswajit said that there is growing mistrust amongst the hill and valley dwellers of the State due to partiality of the Govt for the last 15 years.
He said that development in the field of sports will not only promote love among the people but also imbibe discipline.
In the opening match, both Manipur Terriers and Veikhang FC exhibited skills and sportsmanship.
The match was marked by some brilliant passes and superb saves by goalkeeper of both teams.
Veikhang FC sniffed the winner as a penalty was awarded in their favour.
However, much to the dismay of their fans, the team could not convert the spot kick.
Even as both teams pushed hard to take the lead, none could succeed in breaking the stalemate.
A total of 16 teams will vie for the title this year.
