T.F.A., in fact, was established while J.R.D.Tata was the Company's Chairman and became a reality with his active support. A keen and skilful sportsman himself, J.R.D.Tata provided great encouragement to all sports disciplines. The academy has many accolades to its credit and has produced 141 players who have gone on to represent the Indian national team.
