India’s triumphant U13 girls were felicitated at the All India Football Federation Headquarters, the Football House in Dwarka on Thursday. The girls returned back after winning the AFC U13 Girl’s Football Tournament held in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

AIFF General Secretary Kushal Das congratulated girls for putting up such a stupendous performance. “I congratulate you for the feat which you have achieved. Hope you will continue with this in the future tournaments. All of you have made the country proud,” he said.

Das also announced a cash reward of Rs 5000 each for the players and the support staff.

Head Coach Priya PV sounded elated. “We are very happy that we won. This is a step in the right direction. We hope to sustain our performance even at the U14 tournaments.”

She also lauded AIFF’s support and the reward awarded to the team. “AIFF has been very encouraging and this kind of appreciation would only inspire more players to take up the sport in the country,” she added.

The girls won all their five matches and defeated the likes of Iran (1-0), Bhutan (13-0), hosts Sri Lanka (7-0), Jordan (7-1) and Palestine 9-0 on way to winning the tournament.
