“The CFC U-13 squad is extremely talented. We have seen it with the likes of Liyaakath and others last season. The league is a huge opportunity for our boys to grow and test themselves against their peers from around the country,” said Syed Sabir Pasha, CFC’s Technical Director of Youth Development and First Team Assistant Coach.
CFC U-13s will play three other teams home and away in the Chennai zone apart from Great Goals; namely FC Madras (formerly Mahogany FC), Raman Vijayan Soccer School (RVSS) and Chennai City FC (CCFC).
