AGARTALA, May 13, 2024: Tripura team faced Assam counterpart here Monday in a bid to qualify for the Swami Vivekananda National Under-20 Boys Football Tournament slated for Narayanpur, Chhattisgarh. Despite a strong start, Rajesh Roy Chowdhury's team fell behind as the match progressed and ultimately lost 6-0.

The team conceded three goals in each half.

After the game, Tripura's manager Shubhenjit Sinha commented, "If Captain Amit Jamatia had not missed an easy chance in the beginning; the outcome may have been different. His through pass had a demoralizing effect on the team. Additionally, goalkeeper Pradeepta Chakraborty's performance was subpar."
