To introduce nine new zones to build a more inclusive football ecosystem

The Mokokchung District Football Association (MDFA), since its establishment in 1992, has played a key role in promoting football in the district through sustained efforts and strategic reforms. As a longstanding driving force behind Mokokchung’s football culture, the MDFA has been instrumental in nurturing the sport at various levels.

However, in recent years, the district has witnessed a noticeable decline in representation at the state level, despite football remaining the most popular sport locally, raising concerns about the current trajectory of its development.

To address these recent challenges and reinvigorate football in the district, the MDFA has announced a major structural reorganization aimed at decentralizing governance and promoting grassroots football development across the district. This is perhaps the most ambitious reform introduced by the MDFA to date.

As part of the overhaul, the MDFA will establish nine zonal associations under its umbrella. The zones are: Mokokchung Municipal Zone, Ongpangkong North Zone, Ongpangkong South Zone, Kobulong Zone, Chuchuyimlang Zone, Tuli Zone, Mangkolemba Zone, Longchem Zone, and Merangmen Zone.

The official launch of the zonal associations will take place on April 15 under the theme “Football at the Grassroots.” The initiative will be launched by Sharingain Longkumer, Speaker of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly and Chairman of the District Planning and Development Board.

According to MDFA sources, the reorganization will be carried out in phases, beginning with the formation of three zones. The remaining zones will be established in subsequent phases, with the entire process expected to be completed within the current year.

The restructuring aims to enhance administrative efficiency, nurture local football talent, and improve infrastructure across Mokokchung district. It also addresses long-standing concerns that, despite being a district association, the MDFA’s activities and representation have remained largely concentrated around the district headquarters, excluding many outlying areas. Additionally, it seeks to streamline the numerous local tournaments that have been held without official recognition.

Under the new system, each zone will cover both rural and urban areas to ensure broader participation and better management.

MDFA sources stated that the reorganization is intended to create a more inclusive and participatory football ecosystem, with a focus on reaching players and clubs across the district.

My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a number of websites
for about a year and am worried about switching to another
platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

Howdy! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

I have been surfing on-line greater than three hours these days, but I never found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is lovely value sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content as you did, the internet will probably be much more helpful than ever before.
