The Nagaland Football Association has confirmed to Mokokchung Times that the next edition of the prestigious Dr T Ao Inter-District Football Championship will be hosted by the Chümoukedima District Football Association (CDFA).
Meanwhile, CDFA President Sedevikho Angami confirmed to Mokokchung Times that it was a privilege to host the tournament. He said the CDFA had been interested in hosting the current edition but withdrew from the race after considering the sentiments involved. He said it was only proper for the Silver Jubilee edition of the tournament to be hosted by the Mokokchung District Football Association (MDFA) in the home district of Dr T Ao.
According to Angami, the CDFA looks forward to hosting the 26th edition of the tournament and is committed to taking it to the next level.
It is learnt that MDFA, the host of the current edition, will hand over the tournament flag to CDFA during the closing ceremony on Thursday.
