The 2022–23 Santosh Trophy was the 76th edition of the Santosh Trophy, the premier competition in India for senior men's football teams representing their respective states/union territories and government institutions.
Contrary to the recent seasons, this edition onwards the AIFF adopted a new format for the tournament that saw the removal of the qualification stage, thereby allowing all the state teams to participate in the group stage.[1] This move taken in a way for promoting the sport in every region of the country. On 6 October 2022, the AIFF signed a MoU with the SAFF, which included an agreement to host the semi-finals, the 3rd place decider & the final in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.[2]
Group stage
[edit]The group stage was contested by 36 teams representing the states and the union territories of India, wherein the teams were drawn into six groups.[3][4] The six group winners, along with three best runner-up teams qualified for the final round along with Railways, Services and the host of the round.[5]
