Imphal, October 21 2023:
Manipur went down by a narrow 0-1 margin to Chandigarh in the first semi-final match of the 62nd Subroto Cup for U-17 boys today at BR Ambedkar Stadium, New Delhi.
Earlier in the day, the organising committee created an unwanted scene by forcing the jerseys of goalkeepers of the opposing teams to exchange.
It is learnt that the organising committee hinted at a technical problem about the jerseys but were told the two teams to exchange the jerseys while the State team officials were trying to change the jersey.
The officials leading the State team represented by TG English School, Bishnupur, took exception to the incident and said that such a thing has never occurred in the history of football.
