Laitumkhrah, a strong team in the Shillong Sports Association’s U-20 Fourth Division 2025, has been penalized by the SSA for fielding four ineligible players in their second round match against Golflink. The team, which won 4-0, should have progressed to the quarterfinals. However, Golflink registered a protest with the SSA, claiming they failed to obtain a club transfer. The SSA upheld the decision, stating that the four players were registered as players with another club and had not completed the SSA’s inter-club transfer. Golflink won the match, but Laitumkhrah needs to win by 3-0 to qualify.
