The Santosh Trophy is one of the most prestigious tournaments in India.

The Santosh Trophy 2024-25 promises to put on another exhilarating edition with defending champions Services facing an uphill battle to defend their crown in India’s premier inter-state senior men’s football competition. Kicking off on 15th November 2024, the tournament will be organizing its 78th edition in 8 different venues across the country.

The underdog Services team beat the favorites Goa by a score line of 1-0 courtesy of center-back PP Shafeel, who scored the winning goal in the 67th minute. The win meant Services captured their seventh Santosh Trophy title and will be keen to add another this season.

This year, 38 teams will compete in the tournament with Services, Goa, and Telangana receiving direct entry to the final round.

West Bengal currently holds the record for most Santosh Trophy victories with 32 titles in their trophy cabinet. It will be yet another exciting tournament that will be hosted by Telangana with great footballing action on display.

Format

Like last year, the Santosh Trophy retains the group format with each team facing the other three teams once in the group stage. At the end of the group stages, each group leader will progress into the final two group phases, after which the top four teams from each group will play in the knockout stages.

The four remaining teams, who won their respective quarter-final fixtures will then play the semi-finals amongst themselves. Eventually, the semi-final winners face off in the Santosh Trophy final and the winner is handed the coveted Santosh Trophy.
