India Khelo Football’s Tyger IKF Season 6 has announced a series of youth football trials across multiple Indian cities in October 2026. A promotional post from the organiser lists locations including Jodhpur, Belgaum, Dumka, Surat, Gwalior, Ahmedabad, Jaisalmer, Katihar, Shimoga, Indore, Srinagar and Vijayawada, while the official IKF trial calendar provides city-wise updates for confirmed dates and venues.
The poster states that the trials are open to boys and girls born between 2009 and 2016. It directs players to register through MyFirstKick and lists a trial fee of ₹125, with the poster noting that girls and underprivileged participants are exempt. As schedules and venues can change, applicants should check the organiser’s live calendar before travelling.
The official IKF trial calendar lists Jodhpur, Rajasthan, for October 23, 2026, at Gaushala Stadium near K.N. College. Belgaum, Karnataka, is listed for October 24 at TurfKA22 Camp, with entry from Cantonment General Hospital. Ahmedabad is scheduled for October 25 at VERSUS Sports Arena, while Vijayawada is listed for the same date at Vijayawada Railway Ground.
The social media poster also advertises Dumka trials on October 24 and 25 at Outdoor Stadium, Bandarjodi, Dumka, Jharkhand. However, the time shown on the poster is inconsistent between the event detail panel and the caption, so players should confirm the reporting time directly with IKF before attending. The official calendar currently lists Dumka as a city-confirmed trial with the date still to be announced, which makes checking for the latest update especially important.
Other dates shown in the poster include Surat on October 24 and several locations on October 25, including Gwalior, Jaisalmer, Katihar, Shimoga, Indore and Srinagar. The organiser’s calendar may display separate entries for general trials and the women-focused Naari Shakti programme, so applicants should select the correct city and trial category when registering.
The promotional graphic gives the age category as 2009–2016 and says both boys and girls can take part. It instructs participants to create a profile on MyFirstKick, select their city, pay the applicable trial fee and download the trial pass before attending. The graphic lists ₹125 as the fee, with free participation for girls and underprivileged players.
Players and parents should read the registration instructions carefully and ensure that the selected city, age group and trial category match the player’s details. The poster includes a contact number for the Dumka trial, but participants should verify current contact and venue information through the official organiser channels rather than relying only on a reposted image.
Multi-city scouting programmes can offer young footballers an opportunity to be assessed without travelling to a single national venue. But dates, reporting times and grounds are operational details that can change. The official IKF trial calendar is the most useful reference for checking whether a date is confirmed, whether a venue has been announced and whether registration remains open.
At the time of writing, the calendar confirms several of the dates displayed in the social post, including Jodhpur on October 23, Belgaum on October 24, and Ahmedabad and Vijayawada on October 25. Some entries do not fully match the poster, so this article does not treat every time or date in the graphic as independently confirmed.
For grassroots footballers, local trials can reduce the cost and distance involved in seeking a scouting opportunity. Families should still plan around verified details: confirm the venue and reporting time, complete the registration steps, keep the trial pass available and contact the organiser if the online listing conflicts with the social media announcement.

SportsLine will continue to highlight grassroots opportunities while distinguishing confirmed information from details that require further clarification.
