Community Activity
SFA Foundation has always been at the front to support and give equal opportunity to the underprivileged. We have been training such boys and girls from all age groups. They have also been given all the necessary equipments and diet free of cost. Our boys team have been playing the MFA leagues and have developed in these years to now play in the senior team.
In 2020, we also tied up with AMMA FC (Women’s Team) from Nagpur to give the ‘Rural Girls’ a fair opportunity to perform at the highest level, The Indian Women’s League (IWL). This team consisted of girls from Yavatmal, Jharkhand, Pune, Nagpur and Mumbai.
