The School qualified competing against 50+ schools from the Delhi Zone - to play the National Zone Championship which is played among the best 40 schools (under CBSE) from entire India along with 6 International teams from UAE, Oman, etc.
At the National Championships - CRPF Rohini performed exceptionally well qualifying for the knockout round with 3 wins and just 1 defeat in the group stages. In the knockout stage - the school defeated Syed Mohammad Haji School, Thrissur, Kerala in the pre-quarter finals and Sant Baba Bhag Singh International School, Jalandhar in the quarter finals in a tie-breaker. The school got the second runners-up spot after they lost the semifinals against DPS Panipat in a tightly fought contest in which the school lost by a solitary goal.
In 2014, CRPF School also qualified for the CBSE National Football Championship (in Gujarat) and finished runners-up in the tournament.
All the players deserve huge credit as they finished this national tournament with a position which will also help them to seek admission in premier under-graduate institutions through merit in Sports.
Annually - the School nurtures about 8-10 players who successfully use their experience as national-level players to seek admission in reputed colleges of the Delhi University including Motilal Nehru College, Sri Venkateswara College. Zakir Hussain College, Kirori Mal college among others.
