About Us

Co-founded by Bhaichung Bhutia, Indian Football Foundation (IFF) is a social initiative that aims to discover and develop India's top talanted young footballers and coaches through a strategic partnership with Bhaichung Bhutia Football Schools. We provide a complete financial aid for talent scouting nationwide and offer structured residential training program that includes:

Full boarding

Education

Medical + Financial support

Competitive exposure

Vision

Every promising young athlete in India deserves equitable access to top-tier coaching facilities. Access to such resources should not be hindered by financial constraints or any other obstacles, ensuring that talent is nurtured and potential maximized across the nation.

Mission

We are on a mission to assist talented young footballers aged 7-19 in India who lack coaching resources due to lack of resources. This involves building infrastructure to support players nationwide and training aspiring coaches for professional success, fostering football development and employment in the country.
