Tyger IKF Season 5
India’s Largest Non-Profit Talent Hunt
Building on our grassroots mission, IKF Season 5 expands to 125+ cities, making it India’s largest non-profit talent hunt. We don’t train or sign players ourselves — instead, we connect passionate young athletes directly with professional clubs across India and abroad. Every kick, sprint, and goal you showcase is your own — our platform simply brings the stage to you, free from academy fees or hidden costs.
