MOKOKCHUNG — The third edition of the SYU Open Futsal Tournament, organised by the Salangtem Youth Union (SYU) under the aegis of the Mokokchung District Football Association (MDFA), commenced on Monday at Mojabi Futsal Turf, Mokokchung.
Held on the theme “Focus to Endure”, the tournament drew 19 teams from within and beyond the district competing for the prestigious title.
Temsuchuba Jamir, SDO (Civil), Mokokchung, the guest of honour for the opening ceremony, in his address, lauded SYU’s unity and consistency in hosting the tournament for the third consecutive year. Jamir said the tournament provides a vital platform for young players to advance their careers through MDFA’s support.
“Continue to groom the youngsters,” he urged, and stressed the need for Mokokchung to reclaim its past vibrancy in sports, music, and other fields.
He lamented the “negative mindset” and generational gap that have stalled progress, attributing it to complacency rooted in past glories.
“Pride has caused us to miss the bus”, he said, and called on the youths to unite and excel in their roles to drive success.
MDFA president N Akok Longkumer echoed the call for revitalisation, acknowledging the significant resources required to organise events like the SYU Futsal Tournament.
