Numerous supporters witnessed the intensity of 32 male teams and 16 female teams comprising of over 300 players, progress through 3 exhilarating stages, comprising, a Group Stage, Quarterfinal, and Semifinal to qualify for the Final.

Upon the sound of the whistle blown by our Guest-of-Honor, Mr T. Raja Segar, CEO of SINDA, the finals of both the Male and Female Category kick-off. After the exhausting ordeal, the Champion of each category was awarded the coveted Championship trophy, with the top three runner-ups receiving medals for their respective achievements.

The winners of both categories posed proudly, taking photos and parading around with their huge trophies and shiny medals, before helping themselves with the much-wanted refreshments, as the soccer madness looked to come to a pleasant end. However, with plans on its way to organize a record-breaking, 24-hour soccer marathon, featuring a massive 128 teams, with over 1000 matches played, next year, the soccer madness is far from an end.
