Football Academy Trials Mumbai 2025-26 Season

Several football academies have announced open trials for players across multiple age groups in Mumbai and other cities. The announcements cover boys and girls from under-8 to under-18 levels and include sessions tied to established grassroots programs and residential setups.

Mumbai Programs Expand Opportunities

SSE Soccer Schools, described in the listings as Mumbai’s longest-serving grassroots program with more than 17 years of experience, is running open trials for its 2025-26 season. The academy, which has worked with thousands of children since 2010, offers sessions for boys and girls aged U8 to U18. Separate trials are listed for girls in the U14 and U17 categories. The program operates in partnership with Indian Super League club Bengaluru FC and is positioned as a continuation of its long-standing player development work in the city.

Maharashtra Oranje FC’s academy division, SFL Oranje Academy, has also scheduled extensive trials for the 2025-26 season across multiple age groups. The club is noted as a prominent name in Mumbai’s football circuit, and the trials are intended to fill places in its academy pathway.

Additional Sessions Announced Elsewhere

The All India Football Federation began trials earlier this week for its U14 boys’ team in Hyderabad. The sessions form part of the federation’s longer-term scouting and development strategy. In Pune, South United Football Club has scheduled its next set of trials for a new residential academy based in Bangalore. The Pune sessions are open to players seeking places in that residential program.

The listings on the Football Counter site group the announcements under categories that include trials and women’s football. They provide dates and locations for each set of sessions without further detail on selection criteria or outcomes.
