Champions with Team Messi — and Best Striker of the day.

Goals and assists are family-recorded from match reports, video and observation — grassroots tournaments don’t keep official stats. How we keep the record.

This one was played at home — Vicky FA’s own inter-center tournament at the Siuuu 7 Sports Arena in Gottigere, the academy’s branches split into sides carrying the names of the game’s greats: Team Messi, Team Ronaldo, Team Neymar.
It was a tight format — 5-a-side, no substitutions, each team playing two group games. Avyaan lined up for Team Messi, who beat Team Ronaldo 4–0 and lost a tight one 3–4 to Team Neymar — enough to top the group on goal difference and take the title.
They came out of it as champions — and Avyaan walked away with the Best Striker award, the day’s recognition for the sharpest finishing in the tournament.
