I-League side Gokulam Kerala FC entered into a partnership with Football Plus, a professional soccer academy based in Chennai. With this partnership, Gokulam Kerala FC will be forming the Gokulam International Soccer Academy (GISA) in Vadakara. The academy will be operating from the Gokulam Public School situated in Vadakara.

The partnership between Gokulam Kerala FC and Football Plus aims to upgrade the already existing soccer academy at the Gokulam Public School in Vadakara to international standards by incorporating a very relevant football curriculum that is followed by various LaLiga football clubs.

GISA will also have coaching staff from Spain to train the children. A one-month exposure tour to Spain for the academy cadets is another highlight of the programme.

“It is a small step forward for the club, but a giant leap for development of football in Kerala,” said Gokulam Kerala FC CEO Dr. B Ashok Kumar.

“We are excited to partner with Gokulam Kerala Football Club, which is already a big name in Kerala, we hope to bring our expertise to accelerate the development of football by introducing the latest European technology and training methods through this Gokulam International Soccer Academy,” said Mr. David Anand, Chairman and Founder, Football Plus.
