Bengaluru, [30-01-2025] – Technico Football Foundation (TFF), part of Technico Sports India Pvt Ltd and Technico Excellence Foundation, continues to make waves in Karnataka football with back-to-back promotions across multiple divisions. The club’s Men’s Senior Team clinched the 2024-25 BDFA B-Division League title with an unbeaten record, earning the nickname “The Invincibles”, and securing promotion to the A-Division League. Meanwhile, their Elite Junior Boys Team finished as runners-up in the KSFA D-Division League, gaining promotion to the C-Division.

This achievement follows an already remarkable 2023-24 campaign, where TFF’s Senior Boys Team won the KSFA C-Division League, earning promotion to the B-Division, while the Elite Junior Boys were runners-up in the KSFA D-Division. With this latest success, TFF has accomplished an extraordinary feat – securing two league titles and two consecutive promotions for the Men’s Senior Team in two years.

The TFF Way – A System Built for Success

Technico Football Foundation operates a year-round training system at South United and Depot 18, with four registered teams across the KSFA and BDFA leagues:

  • Men’s Senior Team (A-Division)
  • Elite Junior Boys Team (C-Division)
  • Girls Senior Team (A-Division)
  • Elite Junior Girls Team (B-Division)

Led by Technical Director Vivek Menzel, the coaching staff includes experienced professionals such as AIFF A-License holder Amit Jaiswal (Senior Team Head Coach) and AIFF B-License holder Abhishek Malik (Junior Team Head Coach).

TFF attributes its success to its data-driven training philosophy, #TheTFFWay, which emphasizes analytics and performance tracking through partnerships with Step Out and Footrax. The team recorded an average of 267 successful passes per game this season—the highest in the league—showcasing their commitment to technical excellence.

Expanding for the Future

Building on this momentum, TFF is expanding its grassroots development program with the introduction of U17 and U15 teams in 2025, laying the foundation for a robust youth pipeline.

With a strong culture of Integrity, Equality, and Excellence, Technico Football Foundation is rapidly shaping the footballing landscape in Bengaluru and beyond.
