Tata Football Academy (Tata FA or TFA) is an association football academy based in Jamshedpur,[2][3] Jharkhand, India, sponsored by Tata Steel, which owns ISL outfit Jamshedpur FC.[4][5] It is one of the renowned and leading football academies in the country.[6]

History[edit]

Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata envisaged not only Asia's first fully integrated Steel Plant but also the model township of Jamshedpur. He advised his son, Sir Dorab Tata, to earmark "areas for Football, hockey and Parks... ". Tata Steel's commitment to sports, in fact, preceded the building of the township. The aforesaid letter was written in 1902 and the site for Jamshedpur selected in 1907.[citation needed]

J. R. D. Tata gave fruition to J. N Tata's vision, inculcating sports as an integral part of Tata Steel's corporate philosophy. It is part of this very same commitment that made Tata Steel set up the Tata Steel Sports Foundation, to inculcate among the young men and women of India the sporting spirit, the zeal to excel, to win, and above all the discipline and dedication that brings out the winner in the individual. TFA, conceived in 1983 and inaugurated in 1987, was one intrinsic component of the Tata Ideal manifested in reality. Legendary Indian footballers Chuni Goswami and Arun Ghosh served as director of TFA from 1986 to 1989 and 1997 to 2003 respectively.[7][8]

In November 2017, it was announced that TFA will tie-up with La Liga giants Atlético Madrid,[9] to enhance and strengthen its existing programmes for promoting Indian football. It was also announced that, TFA is to be renamed as Tata Atletico Football Academia.[10]

In March 2019, Carlos Santamarina was appointed as the head coach of TFA.[11] Santamarina has been involved with Atlético Madrid's youth coaching set up, which includes development and coaching of kids in the age group of U-15, U-14, U-13 and U-12.
