Other than this, some selected kids will also get a direct entry to IKF Season 2 Pre-Finals and Finals at Ambedkar Stadium in Delhi, where multiple ISL and I-League clubs will come to scout best-in-class selected talent from across the country.All participants will get a technical assessment report done by PFSA-certified scouts which will certify their abilities as a player.India lacks the professional ecosystem to provide kids with the correct feedback and assessment of their game with a strategic and verified process. The workshop will assist kids in understanding their game better and bridge the talent gap through assessment, feedback, and counselling from the Premier League Scouts and Agents.The process will follow a professional approach and begin with age and position-wise segregation, followed by drills and fitness, with matches for assessing social and tactical acumen.

We will also be looking for exceptional players who will get the opportunity to travel to the UK on a 100% scholarship for the Elite Player Development program at Steven Gerrard Academy.
