Elfonze Lifts the CII Cup 2026: Champions of the 4th Edition, CII Karnataka Corporate Sports League

There is a particular kind of hunger that only second place creates. After finishing runners up in the 2025 edition of the CII Karnataka Corporate Sports League, Team Elfonze walked into the 2026 final with one thing on their mind. Not redemption. Not revenge. Just the cup.

On Saturday, 11th April 2026, at the Garden City College ground on the outskirts of Bengaluru, Elfonze Technologies beat Infineon Technologies 4-2 in a hard fought final to lift the CII Cup. The 4th Edition of the league brought together top corporates from across Karnataka, with 8 soccer teams competing through a double elimination format that left no room for an off day.

Elfonze's campaign was built on intent from the first whistle. A thumping 5-1 win against Climate ETC in the opener. A 7-1 demolition of BIAL that sealed a final berth on goal difference. And then a final where every minute mattered.

Skipper Noel S led from the front, scoring twice in the final and finishing the tournament with 12 goals to walk away with the Player of the Tournament title. Sahil Lamani and Appu chipped in with crucial goals through the run. Wency A held the defence steady. Sri Sarathy A was a wall in goal. And on the bench, Jesvin, Dayanand, and Vijai Velu, our Co-founder and CEO, stayed ready through every match, backing the squad with full force.

'It is teamwork that worked for us. We believe we have to win every tournament to keep our organization at the top spot. This motivates and brings out the best in us,' said Noel after lifting the cup.

That sentence is more than a post match quote. It is how Elfonze plays the game, on the field and off it.

From the Sidelines to the Spotlight: Why Corporates Must Back the Dreamers in Sports

Not every story of success begins in a boardroom. Some start on a muddy field, under floodlights, with a football at one’s feet and a dream in their heart.

At Elfonze Technologies, we’ve always believed that greatness doesn’t come from one place, it comes from grit, from goals (both kinds) and from the courage to chase something bigger. Today, we’re incredibly proud to share the journey of one such dreamer among us Noel Selvaraj.
