Junior Titans events will be held in five key cities of Gujarat: Ahmedabad, Junagadh, Bhavnagar, Bharuch, and Palanpur. LALIGA, the top tier of the Spanish football league, continues their association for the second season of the program, undertaking the football workshops at these events.

The second season also sees one of Japan's most loved brands Pokémon, collaborating with Junior Titans, giving children a chance to meet their beloved Pokémon characters and participate in exciting activities at the venues and take home amazing merchandise.
This edition will also see Bisleri supply children with drinking water, while SG will provide the necessary sports equipment. Kicking off on January 18th in Junagadh, each city will host a one-day community sports event designed to celebrate the joy of outdoor play and sportsmanship.
The events will feature a variety of engaging activities, including cricket and football challenges, quizzes and a walk through the history of Gujarat Titans. Participants can also look forward to exciting giveaways and delicious food, all aimed at fostering community engagement and camaraderie.
This edition, 'Junior Titans' will include participation from around 25 schools in each city, including 10 private schools and 5 government schools. In addition to the schools, 5 NGOs will participate, ensuring a diverse and inclusive environment for all young athletes.
With an expected turnout of around 900 participants in each city, the program promises to be a grand celebration of sports and community spirit.
