The Game is Bigger Than the Ground
Born in the villages of Madhya Pradesh, Football Kranti is a movement to democratize football — giving every child, coach, and club across India a fair chance to shine. Backed by community spirit and recognized by the Prime Minister himself, we are now building the country’s most interactive football platform.
