IKF Trials
Opening Doors to Football Dreams
India Khelo Football’s national trials give every motivated player a chance to be seen by professional clubs — no geography or cost barriers, just pure football and opportunity.
About IKF Trials
India Khelo Football (IKF) exists to bridge the gap between grassroots passion and professional opportunity. Our National Trials are a non-profit, data-driven talent hunt where "Aap Khelo, Mauka Hum Denge!" truly comes to life — no geography or cost barriers, no hidden agendas. Every player aged 10–17 (boys and girls) gets a level playing field to showcase their talent in front of certified scouts and professional clubs.
Why It Matters
Democratizing Access
We take the trial to players across India — removing travel and cost hurdles.
Nation-Building Vision
From 17 cities in our pilot to over 100+ this year, we’re on a mission to leave no dream off the map.
Neutral & Non-Profit
IKF isn’t an academy or agent. We objectively shortlist talent at zero cost beyond the first local screening.
