Everyone in India sees that we have a bright future ahead," Stimac averred. "We still have hopes to qualify for the finals. India, owing to finishing second in the group, still stand a possibility of qualifying to the finals next year. Deservedly, they qualified to the finals too," he mentioned. "I would like to congratulate everyone, especially UAE, Fujairah, and everyone involved for organising the tournament so nicely. Stimac went on to congratulate UAE for hosting the Group E Qualifiers as well as qualifying for the finals. "This just proves that the project which started years ago in India with Indian Arrows and the FIFA U-17 World Cup were the right steps in developing a new generation of players who will have more confidence on the pitch and not hesitate to face anyone," Stimac stated as per AIFF after India finished second in Group E of the AFC U-23 Asian Cup Qualifiers. India won the shootout 4-2 by virtue of heroics from goalkeeper Dheeraj Singh Moirangthem. With both the teams on the same number of points, goal difference (0), and goals scored (2), a penalty shootout was held to decide who finishes second and third, respectively. Both India and Kyrgyz Republic finished on four points apiece after finishing with a goalless draw in their last match of Group E. India finished their campaign having bagged 4 points with one win against Oman (2-1) and a draw against the Kyrgyz Republic (0-0), only two points behind group leaders UAE.

Both finalist were gracious in victory and defeat and wrapped up a great day with nothing but smiles. Gianni Dy successfully defended his 2015 title with an eventual 2-0 victory over Abel. The game remained competitive to the end, but it was clear that last year’s champion smelled blood in the water. That would be end up being a blow Abel never really recovered from. After a brief stalemate in the first few minutes of play, Gianni, who I now refer to as the Golden Child, struck first. Gianni’s team of choice was Bayern Munich and Abel used Barcelona. The championship round between Gianni and Abel was played on the big screen, with golden controllers, in front of all the remaining guests and PCM passerbys. Abel advanced in a thrilling 4-2 game over Aman that was decided by penalty kicks. Gianni, last year’s champion, eventually moved on to the finals with a 2-1 win over Johnny. The semifinal match ups consisted of Gianni vs Johnny and Abel vs Aman.

Focus and pre-match jitters filled the air, but more importantly, a palpable sense of love and appreciation for the game of soccer illuminated throughout the entire event. Participants from all across the state, and a few others who drove in from out of state, put their skills to the test, as they battled it out on a beautiful and unseasonably warm November afternoon in Atlanta. 32 of Georgia’s best FIFA players came together at the new Google Fiber Space in Ponce City Market to claim the title of “Georgia’s Best FIFA Player” and pocket $1,500 cash!
