Bringing multiple sporting pathways onto a single platform, *International Fateh Academy* has announced selection trials in Football, Hockey, Shooting, and Gatka for the upcoming session 2026–27, placing young aspirants at the centre of a structured and competitive training environment.

The academy’s expanding sports landscape now reflects a clear emphasis on depth as much as diversity.

At the *Fateh Football Academy,* training will be guided by Indian football player Amandeep Singh, introducing a professional dimension to player development. The *Fateh Hockey Academy,* already recognised as a four-time CISCE National Champion, continues to strengthen its established squad with fresh talent.
At the *Fateh Shooting Academy,* training in 10-metre air rifle and air pistol is being conducted under the mentorship of an Indian Olympian, with only a limited number of seats available, reinforcing its focused and selective approach.

Meanwhile, the academy’s Gatka Training Centre, affiliated with the International Gatka Council (IGMA) and supported by the Sports Authority of India (SAI), continues its role in preserving and promoting the traditional martial art through structured and disciplined training.

Rather than functioning as isolated programmes, these academies collectively shape a dynamic sporting environment where emerging talent is steadily channelled towards higher levels of competition through consistent training, exposure, and performance-driven progression.

According to the schedule released by the academy, the trials will be conducted on the school campus as follows:
Football on 25 April 2026 at 8:00 a.m., Hockey at 10:00 a.m., Shooting at 2:00 p.m., and Gatka on 25 April 2026 at 9:00 a.m.
The selection process will be held for Under-14, Under-17, and Under-19 categories, with age eligibility determined as on 31 March 2027.

School authorities stated that the initiative is intended to provide students with access to professional coaching, competitive platforms, and pathways towards higher levels of sport. Selected candidates will also be eligible for a concession of ₹27,000 on the registration fee.

Selections will be made strictly on the basis of merit, performance, and overall potential, while registrations will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to availability of seats.
