Dimapur September 21 (MExN): The Nagaland Football Association (NFA) on Monday said the state's Junior Girls (Under-16) team was forced to withdraw from the Dr Talimeren Ao Junior Girls NFC 2026-27 in Narainpur, Chhattisgarh, citing technical and documentary compliance issues.
NFA President K Neibou Sekhose and Joint Secretary (Adm) Chenonlo Woch in a statement said that while the Centralised Registration System (CRS) registration of all players was duly completed, the DigiLocker verification of Aadhaar Cards of some players could not be completed due to technical reasons.
The association placed on record that the withdrawal was “technical and administrative in nature” and should not be misconstrued as disqualification on grounds of over-age or under-age of players.
