While expressing regrets over the postponement, the Head of Media, explained that, new dates for the end of tournament games will be announced in due course.
Mr. Avi commended the various participating clubs, other relevant stakeholders and football enthusiasts in the State and beyond for their massive support and growing interest in the prosperity cup competition, noting that, the present status of the fiesta has been made possible by the warm disposition of all towards the modest efforts of the organizers.
