Based on the performance, GITAM team will be selected among all the players, said Narayana Rao, Physical Director.

Football is a game that requires perseverance, dedication and hard work. Thus it trains students to become better individuals apart from offering them opportunities for physical exercise and the readiness to strive for success.

The tournament ignited team spirit and a feeling of sportsmanship amongst all the players. A sea of varying emotions - Joy, excitement, frustration and aggression – ran through all when a goal was hit or missed.

The game brought out the best in everybody and assisted in further strengthening the bond between the students.

Earlier, GITAM president M Sri Bharat inaugurated the tournament in the presence of Pro Vice-Chancellor Prof. N Siva Prasad, Resident Director DVVSR Varma and GITAM Sports Committee Secretary Dr. K Rama Krishna Rao.
