Goa, 03rd September 2026: The football grounds of Goa are set to come alive once again as the Mansion House Inter-Village Football Tournament 2.0 kicks off on September 5, bringing together 16 of the state’s leading village football teams for a three-week celebration of the sport.

Speaking about the association, Ahmed Rahimtoola, Chief Marketing Officer, Tilaknagar Industries said, “Football in Goa is a passion that brings entire communities together. Last year, we saw first-hand the incredible response and energy around the tournament, which made our decision to return an easy one. Mansion House Packaged Drinking Water is proud to once again support this celebration of local talent and community spirit. We look forward to making the second edition an even bigger experience for players, supporters and families.”
Taking the tournament closer to consumers, Mansion House Packaged Drinking Water will undertake a 20-day branded mobile roadshow across North and South Goa, building anticipation ahead of the matches and bringing the brand directly into local communities.
