New Delhi: The International Federation of Corporate Football (FIFCO), the world governing body for corporate football, has confirmed  Gurugram-based start-up Corpsport Arena as an exclusive partner in India.

The association is expected to give a boost to corporate football in the country. Headquartered in Montreal, Canada, FIFCO currently has over 65 country members and 2.5 million players.

FIFCO founding president Albert Zbily said, “During the day we work in our trades and our jobs, but every once and while, we live out our dreams and play the game we love under the colours we embrace. I am thrilled to have Corpsport Arena as our exclusive partner in India to take our worldwide movement forward.”

Corpsport Arena founder and CEO Gaurav Saharan said he is driven by the commitment to sportify the landscape of corporate India by providing a platform for competitive sports between organisations across industries. "Our association with FIFCO as an exclusive partner in India would definitely catapult football in Corporate India and it would pave the way for the best team among the corporates to represent India in the upcoming World Corporate Champions Cup to be held in Dubai in October 2021 and many more tournaments going forward,” he added.

With Corpsport Arena, corporates would have their very own annual sports fiesta to find out the brawniest and brainiest in the corporate world. “There'll be multisport championships and other services involving fitness, wellness, performance evaluation using sports tech in a big way. We urge corporate India to join us in this sporting journey."
