Own a Pneuma Territory

Bring Mumbai's champion youth football system to your neighbourhood — with the brand, the curriculum and the coaching method behind it.

Why Now

Franchise a model that just won Mumbai.

In 2026, Pneuma FC's Under-10s became Champions of Mumbai in the MFA Yuva President's League, the Under-8s took third, and the league's top scorer and MVP — 38 goals — wore a Pneuma shirt. The three-season arc is the proof — Top 16 in our first MFA season, the semi-finals in our second, the title in our third. Not luck: a documented system — calendar-year age bands, structured curriculum, session plans in advance, periodic player evaluation, and a toddler-to-club pathway that has run since 2018.

What a Franchisee Gets

The whole system — not just the badge.

A Champion Brand

The Pneuma name, crest and kit identity — backed by verifiable results parents can see, not promises.

Curriculum & Coach Training

The full Pneuma curriculum, session-plan system and player evaluation framework — your lead coach inducted over five days at our Celebration Sports Club HQ, with quarterly trainer programmes thereafter.

Operating Playbook

Enrolment, retention, fee management and parent-communication systems, refined over three seasons — run on a managed academy software and accounting backbone, bundled in and supported by HQ.

Launch & Marketing Engine

Territory launch support, brand assets, campaign templates, and leads from pneumafc.com routed to your territory.

The Pathway Advantage

Every franchise student is a Pneuma student: HQ scouts attend your sessions twice a season, and selected players join Pneuma Club squads — competing in the leagues we win. No standalone academy can offer that route.

Quality Assurance

Periodic technical audits and ongoing support, so every Pneuma turf trains to the same standard.

Founding Franchisee Programme

First territories. Preferential terms.

The first territories are being awarded under our Founding Franchisee programme — exclusive suburb territories, a transparent fee structure shared in full at proposal stage, student fees for your catchment fixed mutually in a signed schedule, royalty charged on collections — we earn when you earn — and a fair exit with no non-compete. Founding territories in Mumbai's western suburbs are already in advanced discussions.

Two Ways In

Start lean, or take the territory.

Format 01

Satellite Centre

A single turf with fixed evening and weekend slots, running Grassroots Academy U-6 to U-12 (toddlers optional). The low-risk entry — and upgradeable to a Full Academy by mutual agreement as enrolment grows.

Format 02

Full Academy

A dedicated venue operating daily, with the complete Pneuma ladder — Toddler Fun Fitness to U-16 — plus School Sports Programme rights in your territory and Pneuma-branded age-group teams under HQ registration.

Full commercials for both formats — setup, royalty and an illustrative P&L — are shared in writing at proposal stage.

Who We're Looking For

Builders, not landlords.

  • An owner-operator present on the turf at least four days a week — not an absentee investor
  • Access to (or willingness to secure) a turf or ground in your territory
  • Business or community-building experience; football background optional — we provide the technical layer
  • Aligned with the Pneuma Code: Train Hard. Play Fair. Lift Others.

Straight Answers

The three questions every prospect asks.

What is the investment?

That depends on the format — Satellite Centre (lean, single-turf entry) or Full Academy (the territory play). Full commercials, including setup fee, royalty and an illustrative P&L, come in writing with the proposal; student fees for your catchment are fixed mutually in a signed schedule. No surprises.

Do I need a football background?

No. The technical layer — curriculum, coach training, evaluation — comes from Pneuma's Technical Director. You bring the territory, the drive and the community.

Which territories are open?

Mumbai suburbs first, each territory exclusive. Founding territories in Mumbai's western suburbs are in advanced discussions — tell us yours before someone else does.
