The much-anticipated fourth and last quarterfinal match between Telongjem FC and Eastern Wing, scheduled to take place at the Imkongmeren Sports Complex on Friday was postponed due to heavy fog causing poor visibility. Mokokchung has experienced three consecutive days of overcast weather and rainfall, which has had a significant impact on field conditions and the quality of recent matches of the MDFA Trophy 2024.
In the third quarterfinal between Super Seniors FC and MMSC on Thursday, players struggled to control the game due to the wet and muddy pitch. By the time of the fourth quarterfinal, conditions had worsened, with dense fog making it impossible to start the game at the scheduled 1:00 pm kickoff. Visibility was reduced to just a few meters, and despite waiting for the fog to lift, conditions remained unsuitable for play. With no floodlights at the venue, tournament officials were forced to postpone the match.
The match will now be played on October 26 at 8:00 am, with the winner advancing to face Super Seniors FC in the semifinals. The first semifinal between Team Gilgal and KSUM is set to take place the same day at 1:00 pm. Weather forecasts predict continued rain, but organizers are hopeful that fog will not further disrupt the schedule.
This postponement has been disappointing for both teams and their supporters. Telongjem FC, who have won the MDFA trophy for three consecutive years, are looking to make it four in a row. The delay adds an extra layer of anticipation, as they hope to continue their impressive title defense in their pursuit of another championship. However, safety and fair play remain the priority for tournament officials amidst the challenging weather conditions.
