The success story of Mumbai Knights FC continues its upward trajectory! We are immensely proud to announce a monumental achievement: four talented players from our club have been selected to participate in the prestigious Khelo India games, wearing the colours of Kickstart FC.

This high-profile movement of our players into the national tournament environment proves the quality of our development pathway. Khelo India is one of the nation’s premier platforms for identifying and showcasing young talent, and having four Knights chosen demonstrates the elite level of performance fostered right here in Mumbai.

The Original Trio: Three Stars on the Rise

The trio of Prisha, Divyanshi, and Nizh—all known for their consistent effort, tactical intelligence, and commitment on the pitch—are now taking their game to the next level. Their selection is a recognition of their outstanding contributionsin our league campaigns and their potential for national-level competition. This opportunity with Kickstart FC is a critical step in their development, exposing them to different coaching styles and higher-stakes football that will inevitably make them stronger players upon their return.

BHAVANI – The Unyielding Goalkeeper

We are especially excited to celebrate the inclusion of our star goalkeeper, Bhavani. Every great tournament run starts with a secure defense, and Bhavani is the ultimate last line of protection. She is the true unyielding guardian for her team.

Her profile is defined by:

• Commanding Presence: Bhavani dictates the backline, organizing defenders and minimizing threats before they reach the goal.
• World-Class Shot-Stopping: Her agility, quick reflexes, and bravery allow her to pull off spectacular saves under intense pressure.
• Vocal Leadership: From her vantage point, she provides constant communication, ensuring the team’s shape remains disciplined throughout the ninety minutes.

Bhavani’s ability to remain calm and decisive under the bright lights of a national tournament makes her an invaluable asset, and we know she will be an absolute wall for Kickstart FC at Khelo India.

A Testament to Development

The Khelo India games provide invaluable exposure, experience, and competition. For our players, this period is essential for testing their abilities against the nation’s best. Their success reflects the dedication of their families and the tireless work of the Mumbai Knights FC coaching staff, who are committed to creating pathways for our players to reach the highest levels of the game.

We wish our four Knights the very best of luck in their campaign with Kickstart FC. We are watching, cheering them on, and can’t wait to welcome them back with a wealth of new experience!
