IKF Career360
Empowering Football Futures
IKF Career360 is transforming football from a mere sport into a structured pathway for personal growth, leadership, and career opportunities. Recognizing that less than 1% of players turn professional, our initiative focuses on the remaining 99%, ensuring every child, regardless of background, has access to holistic development through football.

Our Mission
Career360 is more than just a program—it's a platform designed to nurture talent, not just select it. Every child receives a personalized development plan, crafted to match their goals and context. We believe that passion, not privilege, should shape opportunity, which is why Career360 is open to all, not just the elite. Our holistic approach ensures that players grow not only in football but also in academics, mental well-being, and essential life skills.
To make this possible, Career360 is entirely cost-free for parents, backed by donor funding to ensure equal access. Privacy is a priority—no personal data is collected, and all information remains confidential. Families are supported by a network of verified experts, from coaches to psychologists, who undergo strict credential checks. Progress is tracked through dynamic roadmaps that help children and parents visualize growth, adjust plans, and celebrate key milestones.
