Empowering Her Through Football
In a country where societal norms often confine girls to traditional roles, football is becoming a tool of freedom. At India Khelo Football (IKF), we believe that every girl deserves a chance to lead — not just in sport, but in life.
Through structured programs, nationwide trials, and mentorship, we’re using the beautiful game to empower girls across India — one kick at a time.
Why Football for Empowerment?
| Benefit | Impact |
|---|---|
| Physical & Mental Strength | Builds discipline, fitness, and resilience to overcome life’s challenges. |
| Teamwork & Leadership | Enhances communication, collaboration, and confidence. |
| Shattering Stereotypes | Challenges gender norms and opens access to male-dominated spaces. |
| Building Confidence | Each goal and tackle fuels self-belief and ambition. |
IKF’s Commitment: Beyond the Game
We go further than just training — we’re building systems that uplift, protect, and empower girls at every level.
Free Trials for Girls Across India
We waive all trial fees for girls — so no financial barrier can stop her dream.
- Encourages first-time participation
- Increases access in underserved areas
- Brings us closer to a pro-footballing India where no girl is left behind
Trials By Women, For Women
From the ground to the goalpost, female leadership is front and center. Our women-led trials prove that empowerment isn’t just about playing — it’s about leading.
