Tyger IKF Season 5

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.
