⚽ AN ABSOLUTE SEA OF DREAMS! OVERWHELMED & SPEECHLESS! 🔥
Words cannot express how deeply moved and grateful we are today. The Minerva Punjab Academy football trials at Sukuna, Siliguri, witnessed an historic and massive turnout of over 4,000+ enthusiastic players and passionate supporters!
Seeing this incredible energy, raw talent, and unwavering dedication from every single youngster and parent who showed up—braving the weather and queues—proves just how much football means to this region. 🙏❤️

📢 Important Update Regarding Trials
Due to the massive turnout and time constraints, we were unable to complete the U-18 and U-16 trials for everyone today. To prioritize those who traveled from outside the state and from outside Siliguri, we proceeded with their assessments first.
We will be conducting the trials for all local U-18 and U-16 players on the 11th.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to give every talented player a fair opportunity to showcase their skills!
This is just the beginning of something truly special for football in Siliguri. The future of the game here is exceptionally bright! 🌟
