When passion meets purpose, great things happen — and Pratap Shekhawat, the founder of Pratap Shekhawat Football Club (PSFC), is a shining example of this belief. With a deep love for football and a strong vision for youth development, he founded PSFC on 2nd July 2015 to transform the football landscape and build a strong sporting culture for young minds.

At a time when professional football training opportunities were limited in the region, Pratap Shekhawat took the initiative to create a platform where children could dream big, train professionally, and grow with discipline, teamwork, and respect. His mission was not just to build skilled footballers, but to nurture confident, focused, and mentally strong individuals.

Building Champions, On and Off the Field

In just a few years, PSFC has achieved remarkable milestones. Players trained at the academy have gone on to represent district teams, state squads, and even the prestigious Santosh Trophy. Some have proudly worn Gujarat colours at the national level, showcasing the quality of training and dedication nurtured at PSFC.

Beyond trophies and medals, PSFC’s greatest achievement lies in the trust of parents and the confidence of children who believe in the academy’s vision. This growing community of young athletes reflects the strong impact PSFC has created in shaping both sporting talent and character.

A Vision Beyond Football

For Pratap Shekhawat, football is more than just a sport — it is a tool for life education. PSFC focuses on building resilience, discipline, leadership, teamwork, and mental strength, ensuring that players grow into strong individuals both on and off the field.

The academy welcomes children, youth, and adults of all ages and genders, promoting football as a healthy lifestyle rather than just a competitive activity. By creating an inclusive environment, PSFC encourages fitness, confidence, and emotional well-being across all age groups.

Inspiring the Next Generation

Through his leadership, vision, and commitment, Pratap Shekhawat has successfully created a sporting ecosystem that inspires young minds. His journey proves that with dedication, clear purpose, and passion, it is possible to bring meaningful change to society.

Today, PSFC stands as a symbol of hope, opportunity, and sporting excellence, inspiring hundreds of children to chase their dreams — one goal at a time.
