Young athletes, particularly girls in rural areas, face challenges such as limited access to quality coaching, fewer opportunities to showcase talent, and minimal support for professional growth.

Committed to developing football talent, the Jindal Foundation collaborates with the Odisha Football Club and the Indian Super League team to promote the sport across Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand. In Patratu, the Foundation supports 308 girls with regular coaching, tournament participation, and mentorship. The annual OP Jindal Football Tournaments expand the sport’s reach across multiple business locations, fostering a competitive environment for aspiring players to thrive.
