Disclaimer

India Khelo Football (IKF) is NOT an agent, intermediary, club, or football academy. IKF is a neutral platform that connects all dots of the football ecosystem.

At IKF, we do not charge any fee to clubs for accessing players, nor do we charge players for being scouted or connected to a club — apart from the one-time registration fee.

Players pay a single registration fee of
₹295 (₹250 + ₹45 GST)
 applicable only for the city round. Players from economically weaker backgrounds pay nothing, and girls participate absolutely free.

Beyond the city round, there are no charges at all — zonal rounds and the national finals are completely free for everyone.

If any individual or organisation asks for additional payment, makes false claims, or misrepresents IKF in any manner, please report it immediately at:
