More than teammates, we're family.

Despite the loss in the semi-final on a penalty shootout, our performance was outstanding. We played with heart and determination, and this experience will only make us stronger. We will come back even more prepared and motivated to achieve our goals.

The journey continues the focus shifts to the semi final.

A tough quarter-final against Great Hazara saw us control much of the possession but struggle to break down a resilient defense. After a closely contested game, the breakthrough finally came in the last 10 minutes, sealing a hard-earned win.

Focus now shifts to the semi-finals.

The journey continues! Ready to conquer the quarter-finals.

The team booked their place in the quarter-finals with a convincing Round of 16 win over Dai FC.

The boys started strong and took an early lead, setting the tone for the match. From there, it was a composed performance built on smart game management and discipline to see out the result.

Focus now shifts to the quarter-finals, where a big challenge awaits.

The journey continues — Day 3 of the knockout stage!
