About Vedanta Zinc Football & Sports Foundation

Vedanta Zinc Football & Sports Foundation, an initiative of Hindustan Zinc, is a Section-8 company that aims to bring a transformative change in the country's sporting ecosystem. The flagship CSR programme of Vedanta Zinc Football & Sports Foundation, 'Zinc Football' is a grassroots football initiative established in 2017 to positively impact the football landscape across multiple levels by leveraging the power of the most loved sport in the world combined with quality education as a tool for social development. At the heart of the initiative is a state-of-the-art residential academy equipped with the latest advancements in sports science and technology. A technology-based player performance analysis centre has also been set up that enables coaches to impart training that is at par with global standards. Currently, 60 young and aspiring footballers across age groups are part of the academy, which also has a DAV school within its campus, and all the expenses related to their education, training, diet and boarding are taken care of by the company. Zinc Football believes that “every child should have an opportunity to play”. This philosophy led to the setting up of community football schools - Zinc Football Schools, in Hindustan Zinc operational areas where over 350 children receive training on a weekly basis by AIFF-certified coaches. Hindustan Zinc firmly believes that any sport has the power to bring communities together and drive positive change in society, and is proud to be playing its part in creating a brighter future for the next generation.
