In a press release today, the Mokokchung District Football Association (MDFA) has announced the rescheduling of the Annual MDFA Trophy 2023. Originally planned for September 19, 2023, the tournament will now take place from October 17 to November 3, 2023. The decision to adjust the dates has been made after careful consideration of various factors.
The press release stated that one of the primary reasons for rescheduling the MDFA Trophy 2023 was to align it with the Dr. T. Ao Trophy, a prestigious football tournament. The MDFA had initially adjusted its calendar to accommodate the Dr. T. Ao Trophy, which was slated for October 2023. However, with the recent rescheduling of the Dr. T. Ao Trophy to February 2024, the MDFA Executive Council decided to revert to its original calendar. This adjustment ensures that football enthusiasts have the opportunity to participate in both tournaments without conflicts.
