The Problem

Less than 1% of aspiring footballers turn professional. The remaining 99%—millions of children and parents—are left navigating uncertainty, with no clear path forward.

At India Khelo Football (IKF), we believe football is more than a career—it's a lifelong journey. A journey that can build discipline, confidence, and leadership. Yet today, there’s a huge gap between passion and opportunity.

Career 360 is here to bridge that gap—with structure, support, and smart solutions.

Introducing IKF Career 360

Career 360 is a free, non-profit initiative that transforms every child’s passion for football into lifelong success—whether as a player, coach, analyst, or leader.

Why Career 360?

  • For the 99% — Build sustainable pathways so players who won’t turn pro still stay in the game.
  • For Parents — Turn uncertainty into clarity with personalized, data-driven roadmaps.
  • For Indian Football — Grow an inclusive ecosystem where talent thrives at every level.
