As the 2023-24 season has moved on, the matches played at various Championship Centers in the North Zone have been nothing short of spectacular, with each game adding to the excitement of the league.
RFYS, over the years, have managed to reach out to different corners of the country and the latest addition to that during this season was the Kashmir Championship Center. For the first time, the tournament was held in Kashmir and the response was evidently amazing.
