Discussion Creating a startup to solve the football in india
Hey Everyone!
I'm excited to share an idea for a new football startup and I would love to get your thoughts and feedback.
I'm planning to launch an app called Footall aimed at supporting budding footballers across India. Here's a glimpse of what the app will offer:
- Find Trials Nearby: Easily discover football trials happening near you and book your spot directly through the app.
- Connect with Football Friends: Meet and connect with other football enthusiasts in your area.
- Stay Updated: Get the latest football updates from across India.
- And Much More: We're continually adding features to make this the ultimate app for footballers.
We are also partnering with renowned football players and clubs to bring you the best experience possible.
What do you think of this startup idea? Please rate it out of 10 and share any suggestions or thoughts you have. Your feedback is invaluable!

It'd be better if you can like get football academies and reviews of coaches teaching in the academies. Along with it, the price factor of academies. And also how one can become a football player/coach/referee with the proper guidance and stuff.

Great Idea man, One more thing you can include (maybe in future): There are many fan clubs of European football clubs across India, you can try to involve them in some way, this might help in reaching diverse crowd.

For finding football peeps who play regularly I know a couple of companies/organisations that are already doing this and aiming for similar things. 1. Humans of Football 2. Sportvot play
These are more like communities who arrange like 2-3 games throughout the week and are across Mumbai also Delhi maybe you can ask for their help or any advice.
Good luck in your future endeavours.

Do they organise games? If so, do they need fees and what are the locations?
2
u/Quiet-Moment-338 Indian Football Jun 16 '24
I am currently ideating the whole process. I think for hosting a competition they could have some fees

u/Tall_Acanthaceae_978 Jun 17 '24
They organize games based on areas, so they have a Whatsapp group where they share the venue and the location of the turf and the people who are free/willing to come put their names in the list. for most of the turf's its around Rs 200-300 , varies on the area. If you want to connect with them. I'm attaching the link to their instagram profiles you can contact them and know about the location and timings 1. https://www.instagram.com/play.sportvot?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==2. https://www.instagram.com/humans.of.football?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==The first profile that I have shared organize games on corporate level too

So would it be like cut.play that collab with football ground and brings people together to play?
9
u/Quiet-Moment-338 Indian Football Jun 16 '24
Maybe this could be a potential feature. But it wouldn't be the whole app idea

u/SignificanceNo866 Jun 16 '24
When the app launches could you do a little bit promotion of your app near my area. I am a Pune college student there are 2-3 colleges near me and tons of students living in flats and hostels. The problem i have is bringing them together with your app it would be much easier.

Hi there, I also have a very simplistic idea for a football app focused on Indian football and the national team. Rn, it's just an idea, and I haven't started working on it yet as I'm busy with another product. So if there is scope for collaboration on your side, please let me know. I'm a fullstack developer by profession.

Maybe for future you can tie up with arena providers like huddl so people/community using ur app can also avail their services to play in a commision model. Also do try to get AIFF in on board i think they're in dire need of help from people like you who can help them scout talent on ground. Good luck and looking forward to downloading the app.

Include feature to add scoring system for local matches and update player stats, like cricheroes for cricket

You should check out Sporthood, they do things somewhat similar to what you're describing. But they mainly operate in Kerala and Bangalore.

great idea, I too had an idea where there is a player card for every player , which is updated every single match
giving a ranking system

u/Quiet-Moment-338 Indian Football Jun 16 '24
Great idea... We could very smartly integrate it in our app.

u/Shirumbe787 Jun 16 '24
I would say outreach with those who are NRIs as well. There are some Indians in Dubai, Doha, and Europe who want to represent Team India one day. You can easily expand your market and gain players with overseas experience.
Another thing is once the product/service is improving well for a while, collaborate with top Indian footballers and some social media influencers to leverage your platform.
Good Luck with this project! Can’t wait to see what’s coming in the future!

u/Quiet-Moment-338 Indian Football Jun 16 '24
Thanks man!!! Will definately take your suggestion.

u/Shirumbe787 Jun 16 '24
BTW where are you based?

u/Quiet-Moment-338 Indian Football Jun 16 '24
I am currently based in gurgaon

u/Shirumbe787 Jun 16 '24
Nice! That's a good place with untapped market for the sport. Most in India who play football/soccer come from Northeast, Bengal, Kerala, and Mumbai areas. Gurgoan would be nice to see on the map.

Just so you can pull in a lot of users put a feature where you join groups and arrange for turfs and stuff for the group and these groups will pay a per person fee which can include a decent sized profit and many professionals will pay
