Indian Football Association

The Indian Football Association (IFA) is one of the oldest football governing bodies in India, responsible for overseeing the sport's development, organization, and promotion within the state of West Bengal and its regions. Founded in 1898, it organizes local leagues, tournaments, and youth development programs, and works to enhance the sport's standards. The IFA also serves as a bridge between the national federation and local clubs, ensuring the sport grows sustainably and popularizes football at all levels within its jurisdiction.
