Shillong, Dec 7: Three promising footballers from Meghalaya — Eiladki Ksoo, Ibashembha Khongsit and Ibadarihun Nongsiej — have been invited to participate in the selection trials for the Indian U-17 women’s national football team, scheduled to be held in Bangalore.

He encouraged the three to approach the trials with confidence and humility. “Whatever the outcome, this opportunity is well deserved. Wishing them all the very best,” he added.
