Panaji: Goan side Boom Boom Goa 13 qualified for the Red Bull Four 2 Score 2026 National Finals after emerging champions of the North Goa qualifying round.
Former India champions in the competition, Boom Boom Goa 13 will now join nine other city winners from across the country to battle for the national title and the chance to represent India at the global finals in Toronto, Canada, scheduled for August 29, 2026.
The qualification marks another milestone for the Goan outfit, who have previously represented the country on the world stage and continue to excel in the fast-paced small-sided format. From South Goa, Delta Strikers topped their regional qualifying round.
The nationwide qualifiers were conducted across Mumbai, Bengaluru, Jaipur, Kochi, Kolkata, Pune, Coimbatore and Bhubaneswar, featuring leading grassroots teams. The other teams to book their berths in the national finals are Hope United (Mumbai), Emrais FC (Bengaluru), Goal Hunterz FC (Jaipur), MRFC (A) (Coimbatore), Royal FC (Kolkata), SFC (Pune), Kalina Rangers (Kochi) and Young Boys (Bhubaneswar).
The national finals will follow a group-plus-knockout format, with tied matches decided by a sudden-death golden goal round. The eventual champions will earn the right to represent India at the global finals in Toronto later this year.
