AboutYoung Champs
The Reliance Foundation Young Champs (RFYC) academy launched in May 2015 with the vision of identifying talented young footballers and providing them an environment of excellence to unlock their potential both on and off the pitch.
Supported entirely by the Reliance Foundation, each year RFYC offers fully funded scholarships to young talents from across the country following a comprehensive yearlong scouting process.
At RFYC, we understand that each scholar is a child first, a player second and that not every player graduating from the academy will forge a professional career in the sport. We take our duty of care very seriously and holistic development of each individual child under scholarship is at the core of everything we do. Away from the pitch, we focus on imparting life skills and top - level education to each child who comes through our doors.
The academy was previously recognized by the All India Football Federation as the nation’s first and only 5 Star rated residential academy under their ‘Academy Accreditation Programme', making RFYC the best academy in the country over the past few years. Currently, the Academy holds an Elite 3 Star rating under the Federation's new accreditation system. RFYC has also been awarded a 2 Star rating by the Asian Football Confederation under their ‘Elite Youth Scheme’, giving the academy recognition on a continental level.
Based in Navi Mumbai with state of the art facilities and dedicated multi-disciplinary full time staff, RFYC currently hosts 88 children from around the country playing across five age groups (U14, U15, U16, U17, & U19).

Rajendra & Sarala PandhareParent
Teamwork, discipline and sportsmanship has had a positive impact on our child's overall growth. We as parents appreciate the efforts made by coaches and staff to keep us updated about our child's progress.
Pramod & Swati JagdaleParents
Yearly evaluation report puts light on how he has improved and where he needs to have a touch of polish. Coach Arnold gives more clarity about the dos and don'ts when he is at home.
Hashim & Novia Kandi PKParents
यहां पर बच्चों का ओवरऑल डेवलपमेंट किया जाता है! बच्चे की पढ़ाई से लेकर ट्यूशन से लेकर खेलने तक और और एक मां-बाप की तरह बच्चे का खाने तक का ध्यान रखा जाता है बच्चों को मां समान प्यार देने वाली पदमा मैम के रूप में मिली हैं और पिता बाहुल्य गुरु के रूप में कोच मिले हैं!
Navin & Baby TanwarParents
I have noticed that my son has improved in quite a few aspects since his admission into RFYC. He is more focused, he is grounded and responsible. He seems to be HAPPY and he wants to prove himself in your academy. My sincere thanks to all the coaches and coordinators who are doing their very best to make sure the child is cared for and brings out the best in him.
