About Ardor Football Academy
As the long-standing Regional Execution Partner (REP) for India Khelo Football (IKF), Ardor Football Academy (AFA) has been instrumental in bridging the gap between grassroots talent and professional scouting in Eastern India. While historically focused on Bhubaneswar, Ardor significantly scaled its impact in IKF Season 5 by conducting high-stakes trials across three major cities: Bhubaneswar, Rourkela, and Durgapur. This expansion provided a professional platform for thousands of aspiring players to showcase their skills to scouts. Beyond scouting, Ardor is a premier sports social impact organisation known for its "Football for All" initiative, which provides free elite training to over 5,000 underprivileged children across four states.
