Thousands of spectators of all ages from the surrounding areas witnessed every match of the tournament and supported their favorite teams. Fool proof security was provided during every match. A fully equipped ambulance was placed throughout the tournament to handle any unforeseen incident. Area elders especially thanked the FC for this successful event. Youth of the area welcomed this healthy initiative and assured every possible support in days to come.
