LatentView’s Chennai Kaalpandhu League brings together children from 30 government schools, creating a space to play, learn, compete and discover what they can achieve.

Chennai, September 7, 2026: LatentView Analytics today inaugurated the sixth season of its Chennai Kaalpandhu League (CKL), bringing together more than 700 boys and girls from government schools across Chennai. The Under-13 league features 43 teams representing 30 schools. The tournament was inaugurated by Akhil Prakash, Chief Operating Officer, Chennaiyin FC, at Pavendar Bharathidasan Play Field, Shenoy Nagar.

The week-long league provides young players with an opportunity to experience organised competition, develop their football skills and learn the value of teamwork and discipline.
Building confidence beyond the football field
Now in its sixth year, CKL has reached more than 1,500 children from government and corporation schools through after-school coaching, technical training and competitive exposure. The programme has also created an environment where children can build confidence, develop a passion for sport and experience a sense of belonging.

The impact has extended beyond participation. CKL has seen encouraging stories emerge from its community, including a former participant Ishwarya A who is now part of the Tamil Nadu State Football Team (Junior) and Hariharan S who received a SAI scholarship. More recently, CKL alumna Maruva Farzeen received a sports scholarship from the Tamil Nadu government.
