  • Tecno kicks off second season with Indian Football Foundation

    Tecno kicks off second season with Indian Football Foundation

    MUMBAI: Tecno is back for a second innings with the Indian Football Foundation (IFF), reaffirming its commitment to grassroots football and youth upliftment through its CSR programme.

    The global smartphone maker will continue backing six young players from underserved communities, offering them residential training at Bhaichung Bhutia Football Schools (BBFS) in Hosur and Nashik. The extended partnership ensures that talent doesn’t go unnoticed—or unsupported—on or off the pitch.

    The fresh crop of scholars—Teinam L. Marshilong, Muhammed Fousan, Thokchom K.C. Singh, Ajolbin Kharkhylliang, Monisha Singha, and Sanfida Nongrum—join the ranks of seven total athletes nurtured under this ongoing alliance.

    Commenting on the partnership, Tecno CEO Arijeet Talapatra said, “Our partnership with the Indian Football Foundation is driven by a shared vision to create inclusive opportunities that help young talents from diverse backgrounds realize their full potential. By supporting their journey on and off the field, we aim to foster stronger communities and inspire the next generation of sports leaders.”

    The results are already showing. Two supported players—Monisha and Sanfida—are starring in Garhwal United FC’s Indian Women’s League 2 squad. In fact, under Sanfida’s captaincy, the team recently topped their group and headed into the IWL qualifiers with momentum on their side.

    “This partnership is more than just financial support—it’s a lifeline for young, talented footballers who may not otherwise have access to professional training and education. We are grateful to TECNO for their continued belief in our mission,” said Indian Football Foundation founder trustee Bhaichung Bhutia.

    From local fields to national leagues, this partnership proves that a good assist off the field can lead to real goals on it.

    Spanning over 2 days in March (23rd and 24th March, 2019) the second edition of BUDX will include various stimulating sessions such as masterclasses, seminars and real-time collaborations. Catering to the rapidly growing influential music scene and modern music lovers, the day sessions will transition into an evening filled with leading artists coming together to perform specially curated sets, an experience that will be open to the public.
