About Amateur Football Association

The Amateur Football Association (AFA) was established in 2020 with registration number U92490DL2020NPL371928 in New Delhi, India. Our organization is dedicated to the promotion and development of amateur football across the nation.

As a registered Non-Profit Organization under the Indian Companies Act, we focus on creating opportunities for aspiring football players who may not have access to professional training facilities. Our mission is to identify and nurture talent at the grassroots level, providing a platform for players to develop their skills and potentially advance to professional levels.

Our association works with local communities, schools, and colleges to organize training camps, workshops, and competitive tournaments. We believe that football is more than just a sport—it's a tool for social development, teaching valuable life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and resilience.

Our Vision

To become India's leading amateur football organization, creating a sustainable ecosystem that supports football development from grassroots to competitive levels while fostering sportsmanship and community engagement.
