The football competition of the Nagaland State & Para Games 2026 will run from November 10 to 14 at Chumoukedima, with teams expected to arrive on November 9.
The tournament fixture was drawn Thursday at the Nagaland Football Association office in the presence of Nagaland Olympic Association Assistant Secretary General Neivikuolie Nicholas Khatsu, NFA president K Neibou Sekhose, NFA officials and representatives of the District Football Associations.
Seventeen district teams will compete on a knockout basis, with each match lasting 80 minutes and a 10‑minute interval. Each district may register up to 20 players and four officials—team manager, head coach, assistant coach and physiotherapist—making a 24‑member contingent. Teams must register through their DFAs or District Sports Councils, and may include up to three players from other districts provided a No Objection Certificate is obtained from the relevant DFA. The NFA reserves the right to set and alter match schedules and times.
The final will be held on November 14 at 3 p.m. in Chumoukedima.
