Hyderabad Football Academy and Kerala Blasters FC co-presenting the SFL/ Hyderabad city was once the hot-bed for football. 8 players out of the Indian Football team that defeated Australia on December 01, 1956 in the quarterfinals of the Olympics in Melbourne were from Hyderabad. Over the years, the city has produced 14 Olympians and 21 International footballers. Such was the dominance of Hyderabad on the sport both at national and international football scene. What happened to those days. No one knows the past glory of this great city. SFL is conceived to nurture a generation of players and fans who will carry India into FIFA WC 2026

SFL is designed so well keeping in mind a comprehensive match experience for the players. The matches are held only in three categories, under 13, 15 and 18years

SFL is, Ananth Tejo adds is one of its kind tournament. SFL is the only league to have school from all curriculums IB, ICSE, CBSE, SSE including private, international and government schools.

SFL is the dedicated league that too for Football, which is considered as a poor man's sport and above all in league format is hard to find.
