Legacy / About GCC
From a community club to an AIFF affiliated academy.
Established in 1980 as a local arts and sports club, GCC has grown into one of the region's most respected football institutions. What began as a community-driven initiative with a passion for football has evolved into a professional academy dedicated to developing talented young players through structured coaching and long-term player development.
A major milestone was achieved in 2024 when the academy received affiliation from the All India Football Federation (AIFF), opening a direct pathway for aspiring players to compete within India's official football development system.
