Shaz Football Academy serves as the Regional Execution Partner (REP) for India Khelo Football (IKF) in Tiruchirappalli (Trichy). Through this collaboration, city-level trials were conducted to provide a structured platform for local talent to access IKF’s national scouting pathway. In the Tiruchirappalli trials, 100 players participated, and 14 players were selected for the Zonal level, demonstrating the competitive standard of the selection process. The strong participation and quality selections reaffirm IKF’s belief that football talent exists in every corner of India, and with the right platform, it can be identified and nurtured effectively.
