MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR
PROF. GEETA GANDHI KINGDON
Managing Director
City Montessori School
Sport is a powerful medium that brings out the best in the human spirit. It teaches discipline, perseverance, teamwork, and respect—values that extend far beyond the playing field. CONCORD 2026 – the 5ᵗʰ International Football Tournament, hosted by City Montessori School Station Road Campus in Lucknow, exemplifies these ideals by uniting young minds from diverse backgrounds through the universal language of football, fostering friendship, mutual understanding, and a shared commitment to peace.
It gives me immense pleasure to welcome all participants to CONCORD 2026 This inter-school football tournament is an opportunity for young footballers from diverse backgrounds to learn from one another, forge lasting friendships, and grow through healthy competition.
I congratulate Principal Ms Junu Thakur Bisht and the entire organising team of CMS Station Road for their vision, meticulous planning, and tireless dedication in conceptualising and preparing this international sporting event. Their efforts beautifully reflect the CMS philosophy of holistic education, where physical excellence, moral strength, and global citizenship are nurtured together.
I also extend my warmest wishes to every participating team and their coaches.
May CONCORD 2026 inspire every participant to play with fairness, lead with humility, and carry forward the spirit of unity and sportsmanship as responsible citizens of the world.
