UditVani, Jamshedpur : Jamshedpur FC Reserves kick off their Reliance Foundation Development League (RFDL) National Group Stage campaign with a challenging clash against last year’s runners-up, East Bengal FC.
The match, set for an early 8 AM kickoff on March 23 at Reliance Corporate Park, Navi Mumbai, promises to be a thrilling encounter as both teams aim to start strong.
East Bengal FC, having finished as runners-up in the previous edition, come into the tournament with a reputation to uphold. They were zonal champions in their group.
Jamshedpur FC, on the other hand, arrive in Mumbai full of confidence after an impressive zonal round campaign.
The young Men of Steel finished third in the Northeast Zone and secured their spot in the Nationals with a commanding 4-1 victory over Shillong Lajong FC.
With Lawmsangzuala leading the charge after his sensational hat-trick in the last game, Jamshedpur FC will be looking to make a statement against one of the tournament favorites.
Head coach Kaizad Ambapardiwala will bank on his young squad’s resilience, having fielded one of the youngest teams in the competition. With a squad brimming with U-17 and U-18 players, Jamshedpur FC has relied on energy, tactical discipline, and attacking intent to compete against older, more experienced sides.
As the first match of the group stage, this fixture holds immense importance for both teams.
A win for East Bengal would reinforce their title ambitions, while a victory for Jamshedpur would be a massive boost to their campaign. With both sides eager to make a mark, expect a high-intensity battle to kickstart their RFDL journey.
