Nomadar Introduces Innovative Soccer Platform in India
The digital platform connects grassroots players in India with trials and Nomadar's international High Performance Training program in Spain
Nomadar (NASDAQ: NOMA), a company that seamlessly blends sports, technology, and health, is thrilled to announce its entry into the Indian soccer landscape in collaboration with Actingwood. Actingwood is recognized for its commitment to youth empowerment through sports-related education and wellness programs. This partnership marks a significant step in establishing a new digital soccer platform aimed at cultivating grassroots talent in India.
Branded as India Football Pathway, the initiative intends to create a comprehensive digital ecosystem that nurtures young players throughout their development. This platform will enable players to build personal profiles and access a wealth of educational content such as training tips, motivational talks, and instructional videos. Not only does it provide valuable resources, but it also bridges the gap between local players and structured development opportunities.
Additionally, the platform will serve as a gateway for organizing trials and training programs throughout India while identifying deserving players for Nomadar's High Performance Training (HPT) program in Spain, at the esteemed facilities of Cádiz CF.
The launch of the India Football Pathway is scheduled for late March 2026, following an intense collaborative phase focused on technical development and content creation. Teams from Nomadar and Actingwood will work effectively to structure the platform, enhance the user experience, and curate a library of training and motivational content that aligns with international development benchmarks.
Nomadar’s initiative transcends individual player development, showcasing the company's broader commitment to digital expansion across its various business sectors. By embracing technology, Nomadar strives to broaden access and standardize methodologies while providing measurable development pathways for players, coaches, and partners. This digital transformation speaks volumes about integrating technology across events, education, and training avenues.
India stands out as a crucial market for grassroots soccer development. The All India Football Federation (AIFF) and FIFA reports suggest that there are over 20 million active participants in soccer at the grassroots level, with more than 1.5 million registered players involved in federated competitions and academies. Recent industry reports highlight that soccer is rapidly gaining traction in India, boasting a fan base of over 300 million enthusiasts nation-wide.
Shail Kapri, Founder of Actingwood, remarked that "the India Football Pathway reflects a shared ambition to structure opportunity in a fragmented ecosystem." He added that the collaboration with Nomadar empowers Indian players with credible development pathways and access to international standards that were previously unattainable for grassroots talent.
Joaquin Martin, CEO of Americas & Global Vice Chairman, emphasized the significance of India in Nomadar’s global strategy. He stated that this agreement reinforces the mission to blend digital infrastructure with elite training methodologies, paving the way for identifying and nurturing talent for advanced performance landscapes in Europe.
In this partnership, Actingwood contributes its significant experience in creating digital platforms and content ecosystems tailored to youth engagement within the Indian context. Their role is pivotal in ensuring that the platform effectively reaches players, families, and local soccer authorities while adhering to Nomadar's international standards.
This new agreement complements Nomadar’s growing presence in other territories, including Ecuador, Mexico, and Tunisia, solidifying the company’s position as an international leader in soccer development at the convergence of sports, technology, and global training programs.
