Due to the severe heatwave conditions in the West Odisha districts and the rest of the state, Odisha FC in consultation with the Football Association of Odisha and Jharsuguda DAA has decided to reschedule the pre-selection trials at Jharsuguda for the OFC Men’s Reserve team to a later date.

The heatwave continues to soar across the Western districts of Odisha with temperatures rising to above 43 degrees on a regular basis. The Government of Odisha too has declared holidays for school and college students until the 2nd of May, besides urging everyone to stay indoors and take every precaution for their health and welfare.

The link will be closed for registrations temporarily and reopened with a fresh announcement with new trial dates. All trialists who have already registered need not register when the link reopens. You will be notified of the new date as and when decided on.

While we regret the inconvenience, the dates are pushed back to a later time when the conditions are improved and the club scouts can observe the players perform at their optimum under safe and milder conditions. The club further advises and requests all to take necessary precautions for their health and safety during this time.
