“The vision, discipline, and achievements of players like the late Shashi Thakur remind us that youth connected to the field never go astray. I will continue to strive to develop sports facilities in every village of Bhoranj and create a positive environment for the youth.”
The tournament was organized by the Youth Club of Dhirad and the Youth Club of Sauta, and featured 14 teams. Rajat Negi, Gaurav Negi, Vineet Negi, Priyanshu Negi, Prashant Sharma, and Nishant Sharma played a key role in the event.

Vishal Rana (President, K.K.C. Hamirpur), Jagdev Chand (Vice President, Youth Congress Bhoranj), Vishal Dubey (Secretary, Youth Congress Bhoranj), Rajat Rana (Vice President, Youth Congress Hamirpur), Sai and other youth encouraged the players.
The winning and runner-up teams were awarded at the closing ceremony. Rajeev Rana assured that he would raise the voice for open gyms, ground development, and regular sports competitions in Bhoranj to a stronger level, so that the sports culture in the region can be revitalized.
