India Khelo Football (IKF), in collaboration with Rani Laxmibai Sports Academy (RLBSA), conducted Season 5 trials in Siwan for the first time, exclusively dedicated to girls’ football. This special edition of the trials was uniquely girls-only — conducted by girls and led by girls, including leadership representation from the IKF team itself. The initiative strongly reflected IKF’s belief in creating focused platforms for women in football, ensuring equal opportunity, leadership exposure, and safe, empowering environments for aspiring female athletes. The trials witnessed participation from around 50 girls, out of which 18 players were selected for the Zonal level, highlighting both the depth of emerging talent in the region and the importance of dedicated girls-only scouting platforms in strengthening women’s grassroots football development.
