AFA has its roots from the football loving Indian community in Japan. A group of enthusiastic Indian footballers residing in Japan have made it their mission to promote the sport, engulf into local culture and inspire the younger generation to pursue their childhood aspirations.
Through the provision of better opportunities, they aim to encourage the pursuit of dreams and create a brighter future for football in Japan and thereby developing an inclusive football world with no borders. Aalthara : Aalthara is the word for the foundation seating of a banyan tree in the Indian Language of Malayalam, where the life in a village is being empowered through traditions and cultural exchanges.
