Zinc Football Academy (ZFA) has secured a spot in the final round of the AIFF Under-18 Elite League 2025-26 following a strong performance in the Zonal Round. Local talents from Zawar played a crucial role in the Academy's success.
With 11 wins from 14 matches, two draws, and only one defeat, ZFA comfortably secured a spot in the Final Round. Their home record was particularly remarkable, remaining unbeaten in all seven home matches, scoring 37 goals and conceding none.
Key contributors to the team include Zawar's own Himesh Meena, who made an impressive comeback this season after suffering an injury. He has become a mainstay of the team, scoring crucial goals and creating opportunities for his teammates.
Two other promising players from Zawar, Ritik Meena and Sahil Meena, made their first-team debuts in the AIFF Under-18 Elite League Zonal Round. Their progress reflects the growing impact of Hindustan Zinc's Zinc Football program, which continues to nurture local talent and create opportunities for young players.
