Football Club Forfeits Over Player Registration Dispute

The Young Muslim Football Club (YMFC) has forfeited their match in the 10th Haji Majid Ahmad Majju Seth All India Gold Cup tournament, protesting the organizers' alleged failure to implement mandatory AIFF Centralised Registration System (CRS) and Centralised Management System (CMS) rules. This objection led YMFC to give a walkover to Red Army Bangalore, raising serious concerns about fair play and adherence to national regulations.

The Nagpur District Football Association (NDFA) has officially intervened, demanding an explanation from the organizing committee. The NDFA's secretary has communicated that "coercive action against the tournament" may follow if the issues are not addressed. YMFC had previously lost their opening match against Delhi Police and stated they would only play if opponent registration details were provided.

In other tournament news, MYJ Mumbai secured a narrow 1-0 victory over SJC Kerala, with the winning goal resulting from an unfortunate own goal by a Kerala defender in the 21st minute. Upcoming matches include Rabbani Club Kamptee against GST Custom and SEC Railway, Nagpur, versus J&K Bank Kashmir.
