- MSSA’s prestigious tournaments across multiple sports including hockey, football, cricket, badminton and table-tennis to be streamed on FanCode
Mumbai, December 13, 2024: FanCode, India’s premier sports destination, will broadcast some of the marquee events organized by the Mumbai School Sports Association(MSSA) across multiple sports. This comes on the heels of the recently announced association between Dream Sports Foundation (DSF) and MSSA, aimed at enhancing youth sports by fostering grassroots talent development.
The broadcast will start off with the prestigious Harris Shield which is MSSA’s U-16 cricket tournament. It will be made available on FanCode for the second consecutive year. This will provide a major boost to players, competing in one of the biggest events in Mumbai’s cricketing calendar. This year’s final will be played between Anjuman-I-Islam Allana English School and Modern English School Chembur from December 16-18 at Brabourne Stadium.
Harris Shield has historically been the breeding ground for Mumbai cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shivam Dube, Prithvi Shaw among others in their early days. Besides Harris Shield, Giles Shield will also be available on FanCode.
Speaking about it, FanCode co-founder Yannick Colaco said, “Last year, when we broadcasted Harris Shield for the first time, it was a landmark moment in Indian amateur sport. We are delighted to continue providing a platform to the next generation of superstars and extending this to sports beyond cricket, with athletics, hockey, football and other events that MSSA will organise. This is also in line with our larger goal of nurturing a sporting culture, by offering a platform for families and friends to come together and show their support for the athletes.”
Inter-school Athletic Meet, Inter-school Hockey Tournament finals (The Aga Khan Hockey Cup), Inter-school Football Tournament are some of the tournaments that will be available on FanCode in due course.
