Indian Football had its heydays in the ‘50s and ‘60s when India was one amongst the Top 20 football playing countries in the world. India then won several International championships, including the Asian Games (1951, 1962) and stood Fourth at the Olympics (1956). We now stand at 145 amongst the 207 football playing countries in the world. What ails us is that though a few States promote football a
t various levels, none are equipped enough to take the game centre forward. The interest is high, with television audiences increasing as European Football is telecast. But what the country needs is to promote this team sport in the manner it deserves. And that can only be done through professional coaching to the talent that has remained subliminal. And that’s where The Football Faktory comes in. The Football Faktory is a Soccer School designed to develop the personal and technical skills of the youth. We train our kids to realise and reach their full potential in sport.
