An initiative of Liverpool Supporters Club Kolkata, SOFE uses football as a pathway to grassroots development, education and a more sustainable future. What began with just 20–25 children has grown into a programme supporting 120+ young participants.

But SOFE is about more than football. Alongside structured training, children are supported through school education, Spoken English, computer training, digital learning, nutrition and community initiatives.

Through initiatives like “ No School= No Football ” SOFE has worked to keep children in school while helping them pursue their passion for sport. Its players have gone on to represent youth leagues and academies including Bengaluru FC, Mohun Bagan, East Bengal and South United FC. Football is the starting point. Education, confidence and opportunity are the bigger goal.
