The Bharat Ratna Lokopriya Gopinath Bordoloi Trophy, commonly known as Bordoloi Trophy, is a premier annual Indian football tournament held in Guwahati and organized by Guwahati Sports Association (GSA).[1][2] The tournament was established in 1952 by Gauhati Town Club.[3] It is named after Assam's first chief minister Gopinath Bordoloi. The prestigious tournament comprises some top clubs from the northeast and rest of India. Clubs from Bangladesh, Nepal,[4] Thailand, Iran and Uzbekistan have also participated in this major championship. Abahani Limited of Bangladesh lifted the 2010 edition trophy.[5]
Kolkata based Mohun Bagan has won the Bordoloi Trophy title for record seven times.[6]
On 27 September 2024, Guwahati Sports Association announced the revamped format of Bordoloi Trophy from its 72nd edition which will be played across three months starting with district level matches, followed by cluster level and the final round.[7] In 2023, Oil India FC won their 5th title of the tournament by defeating United Chirang Duar FC in the final clash.[8][9]
