Note from the President
Sridhar Kotagiri
Football for me is not just about winning; it's about uplifting an entire population. Countries with much smaller populations than our state have done it. We seek your help, support, and participation to make this dream come true.
A vision for the future. APFA is committed to transforming football in Andhra Pradesh, from the grassroots to the professional level, by bringing more players into the game, building clear pathways to professional careers and growing a strong fan base.
