What you accomplished in Denmark isn’t just a win—it’s a defining moment for Indian football. Becoming the first-ever Indian club to win the U-14 Dana Cup is monumental . Add to that back-to-back triumphs, having defended the Gothia Cup just a week earlier, and you’ve redefined what’s possible . 

Your dominance throughout the tournament was off the charts: a 17–1 quarterfinal, a 4–0 semifinal, and a jaw-dropping 15–0 final win over Malta’s KFF Club—with a hat-trick from Raj and multiple multi-goal contributions from Rhythm, Tony Rajesh, Chetan K, Yohenba, Denamoni, Ajam, and Chetan T.

But it’s not just about the scoreboard. It’s how you played—tactical discipline, fearless execution, relentless pressing—and cleaned house in every match. You scored 110 goals in seven games while conceding just one.

That’s excellence. Thanks to the coach, whose vision and preparation united the team. Thanks to the players, whose hungry attitude turned pressure into performance.

Keep the Fire Burning

  • Believe this isn’t luck—it’s the result of unmatched preparation and execution.
  • Stay hungry. Every tournament now sees you as a benchmark—not a contender.
  • Innovate. Take learnings from each match, perfect your craft, sharpen set plays, and outthink opponents.
  • Inspire. With your achievement, you’ve spurred a new generation in India to dream bigger—and win bigger.
  • Celebrate intelligently—but stay focused. This is just the beginning.

Coach, your leadership enabled this. Players, your energy delivered it.
