BhaichungBhutia Football Schools (BBFS), in collaboration with EnJogo, will conduct trials for its Residential Academy on December 20th, 2024, at The Greenwood School, Khelo India Center, Dimapur. The trials are aimed at identifying young football talent aged between U13 and U17, specifically players born between 2009 and 2016. This initiative offers aspiring footballers a chance to join the prestigious BBFS Residential Academy, where they will receive world-class training and guidance from experienced coaches.
The selected players will benefit from comprehensive development programs designed to hone their skills and prepare them for a potential career in professional football. With BBFS serving as a launchpad, players could even earn a spot on the Indian National Team, representing the country on an international stage.
Indian football legend BhaichungBhutia emphasized the importance of accessibility, stating, “Football should be accessible to every young talent in the country, regardless of where they come from.” For Dimapur, the trials are a valuable opportunity for local youth to showcase their skills. The Dimapur market has shown increasing interest in football as a growing sport, and this initiative is expected to boost the local football ecosystem, providing more avenues for young players to develop their potential.
