At a time when Indian football is making significant progress at the international level, thanks to some decent showing, at the grassroot level though, the state of the sport remains in shambles.

With just one day in hand to select the top 12 teams from Andheri and Borivli talukas that will play in the U-17 District Sports Office (DSO) Mumbai Suburb Division tournament to be held today and tomorrow, the officials decided to wrap up the competition in just one day in which 80-plus teams participated.

With no time to play full games, the DSO officials decided the winner via penalty shootout.
