Our Team

VIVA Football Academy offers players extensive exposure to competitive football. We participate in tournaments at every level, including Zone, District, State, National, and International competitions. This ensures that our players gain valuable match experience and understand the demands of competitive football from a young age, helping them build confidence and resilience.

We believe in inclusivity, and our academy offers specialized football training for children with special needs. This program has shown remarkable results in improving the participants’ physical and mental health, enhancing their body-mind connection, and providing them with a supportive, encouraging environment.

As part of our commitment to social responsibility, we have adopted several children from Below-Poverty-Line (BPL) backgrounds and offered them free football coaching. By giving these children access to quality sports training, we hope to provide them with opportunities that can change their lives and open doors for a brighter future.

Our academy has state-of-the-art training facilities, including specialized turf grounds for grassroot development and 7-a-side and 9-a-side open grounds for youth training. We also use modern equipment to ensure players at every age level get the best possible training experience.

At VIVA, we don’t just focus on the players. We also encourage parents to stay active and involved. We run a Veterans Team for parents, promoting a healthy lifestyle and creating a sense of community. This approach strengthens the bond between players and their families, ensuring that football becomes a shared experience.
