The 2023–24 Santosh Trophy was the 77th 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.

This edition onwards the tournament was to be held under the name of FIFA Santosh Trophy,[1] but FIFA pulled out due to the choice of venue and thus likely to associate from the next season.[2]

Venues

[edit]

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) announced in September 2023 that the group stage matches would begin the following month and would be played in six venues. The venues and the corresponding groups that would play there were named. Hosts Arunachal Pradesh were exempted from playing the group stage fixtures.[3] For the final round, Arunachal Pradesh was named the host, the first time that a Northeast Indian State would host in the tournament's history.[4]
