This one was played at home — Vicky FA’s own inter-center tournament at the Siuuu 7 Sports Arena in Gottigere, the academy’s branches split into sides carrying the names of the game’s greats: Team Messi, Team Ronaldo, Team Neymar.
It was a tight format — 5-a-side, no substitutions, each team playing two group games. Avyaan lined up for Team Messi, who met Team Ronaldo and Team Neymar on the way through.
They came out of it as champions — and Avyaan walked away with the Best Striker award, the day’s recognition for the sharpest finishing in the tournament.
