Details on Santosh Trophy
Sir Manmatha was the Indian Football Association’s President. The Kamla Gupta Trophy, named after the late Dr. S.K. Gupta, former president of the Indian Football Association, was presented in remembrance of his wife. The Sampangi Cup was presented by the Mysore Football Association (now KFSA) in 1952 to the team that finished third. It was named after Sampangi, a well-known footballer from Mysore. The tournament’s format has changed several times throughout the years.
The teams are now grouped into eight groups, each with three or four teams. The eight group winners are then picked, along with four seeded teams that do not have to compete in the qualifying phase, and these twelve teams are divided into three groups of three. The quarter-final stage precedes the semi-final and final stages.
Bengal has won the Santosh Trophy a record 31 times, with Punjab coming in second with 8 wins. Kerala and Goa are tied for third place with five trophies apiece. The significance of the Santosh Trophy has dwindled over time. The National Football League, which began in 1996, is often credited for this.
