New Delhi: FS Junior, one of the largest football school chains, on Thursday launched the first Eupheus Junior International football academy in Pataudi, Haryana, to bring professional coaching to Indian schools. Headed by the Director of Sports Ilya Shteblov, FS Junior, a Russian company, is already present in 236 cities covering 419 schools all over the world and is now paving their way to India by setting up academies in private schools in collaboration with Eupheus Learning, a Delhi based EdTech company.

Managing Director and Co-Founder of Eupheus Learning, Sarvesh Shrivastava said: “Indian football is gaining limelight internationally. Earlier this week, India’s U20 Football team won accolades for their win against Argentina at the COTIF Cup in Valencia. It shows that the game of football is coming of age in India.”

“The time is right to bring the training exposure at an early age to international levels. We are excited to partner with FS Junior,” he added.

The training programmes have been modelled for 3-14 year old kids focusing on the child’s abilities as well as other aspects of the game.
