Bengaluru, October 08, 2026: In yet another testament to
their achievements, Greenwood High International School Sarjapur students
delivered a strong performance at the CISCE National Girls’ Football
Championship 2026, contributing to the Under-14 and Under-17 girls’ teams
representing the Karnataka & Goa Region. The championship, held recently in
Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, brought together teams representing several CISCE
schools from across the country in the U-14, U-17 and U-19 girls’ categories,
with 11 teams competing in the U-14 category and 12 teams in the U-17 category.
Seven Greenwood High students represented the region in the U-14 team, while

The U-14 Karnataka & Goa Region team remained unbeaten
throughout the championship, securing five consecutive victories. It began with
a 2–0 win over North India, followed by a 5–0 victory against Bihar and a 5–0
win over the North East Region. A further 2–0 semi-final victory against North
India took the team into the final, where it defeated West Bengal 1–0 to claim
the national title. The team scored 12 goals without conceding a single goal
across five matches, a notable defensive record in a national-level
championship.
The Karnataka & Goa Region also secured the U-17
national title with an unbeaten campaign. The team defeated North West 3–0,
Uttar Pradesh 4–0 and Uttarakhand 5–0 in its opening matches, before overcoming
Bihar 3–0 in the semi-final. The final against Maharashtra ended goalless in
regulation time, with the Karnataka & Goa Region winning 4–3 on penalties
to claim the championship.
Commenting on the achievement, Mrs. Niru Agarwal, Vice
Chairperson and Managing Trustee, Greenwood High International School, said, “Sport provides
students with an opportunity to develop discipline, teamwork and the ability to
work towards a common objective. The performance of our students at the

Opportunities to participate in competitive sport also enable students to

both age categories, with Greenwood High students contributing to the teams’
