B. C. Roy Trophy

Indian football tournament From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Junior Boys' National Football Championship,[1] also known as BC Roy Trophy, is an Indian football tournament held for players under-15 years of age representing the states of India. It was formerly held for the U-19 age group before being converted into an U-15 tournament from the 2023-24 edition. The participants in the annual competition are teams representing state associations of India under the All India Football Federation (AIFF). The tournament was instituted by the AIFF in 1962, with the Indian Football Association presenting the trophy in memory of former West Bengal Chief Minister Bidhan Chandra Roy.[2]
