“the beautiful game” in the “land of festivals” … Nagaland .. land that gave birth to Dr. T. Ao ..

As we commemorate the 25th Edition of the Dr. T. Ao Trophy, being played in the home district of the legendary footballer, we pay homage to a great son of Nagaland and of India. From faraway Changki village in Mokokchung district to the centre of the Olympic arena at the 1948 London Olympics, leading independent India as its first football captain at the Olympic Games - Dr. Talimeren Ao was more than an inspirational figure. A pathbreaker. A pioneer. A nation builder. A LEGEND whose legacy lives on. One of the greatest sons of Nagaland, whose extraordinary journey will continue to inspire and motivate generations to dream, to believe and to achieve. Best wishes to all the teams, participants and organisers of this landmark edition. May the spirit of sportsmanship prevail. May FOOTBALL be the biggest winner!
