Tura, Jan 12: The first match of U18 girls’ football competition of the 5th Meghalaya Games 2024 was quite an unusual battle since the West Jaintia Hills team was allowed to field only 8 players.

The match between the two teams from Jaintia Hills got off to an early morning kick-off at 8 am at Chandmari football ground in Tura on Friday. However, the West Jaintia Hills team encountered a major setback as they were only permitted to field eight players. This unprecedented decision came from officials who cited issues in the screening process, revealing that the team failed to provide essential documents such as Aadhar and NOC required for verifications.
