About IKF Trials
India Khelo Football (IKF) exists to bridge the gap between grassroots passion and professional opportunity. Our National Trials are a non-profit, data-driven talent-hunt where "Aap Khelo, Mauka Hum Denge!" truly comes to life - no geography or cost barriers, no hidden agendas. Every player aged 10-17 (boys and girls) gets a level playing field to showcase their talent in front of certified scouts and professional clubs.

Neutral & Non-Profit
