The global popularity of sports has heightened the importance of studying athletes' physical abilities for competitive success. Objectives: Thus, this study aims to assess these abilities across different districts of Tripura. Method: A total of 360 soccer players, 45 from each district, were selected from 3 coaching centre located in each district. The cross-sectional data were collected from players based on speed, agility, cardiorespiratory endurance and explosive power. The descriptive statistics and ANOVA were employed to find out the significance difference. Results: The result reveals that differences in physical abilities agility, speed, cardio-respiratory endurance, and explosive power among soccer players from different districts of Tripura, revealing the influence of district-specific training practices and environmental factors on athletic performance. Future research should adopt longitudinal designs to examine athletic progression and causative factors, incorporating qualitative data on training conditions, socio-economic impacts, and nutrition to clarify external influences on physical development.
