WRF Signs Landmark MoU with Trishe-Woxsen SixS Sports Academy to Launch “Adopt An Athlete” Initiative

In a bold step toward transforming India’s sporting landscape, the World Rebuild Foundation (WRF) has officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Trishe-Woxsen SixS Sports Academy to launch the “Adopt An Athlete (A3) Initiative”, a visionary national mission to identify, nurture, and develop world-class athletes from the grassroots and remotest parts of India.

A Visionary National Movement

The A3 Initiative, conceptualized by WRF under its larger framework of CSR = Country Social Responsibility, is set to be a game-changer in Indian sports. It aims to discover hidden sporting talent in rural, tribal, aspirational, and remote regions, and provide them with full-residential high-performance training, academic education, and holistic development. The initiative also empowers the corporate sector to become a strategic partner in India’s sporting success through CSR funding under the principle of Country Social Responsibility.

Aiming for Olympic Glory

The joint mission is to create a medal-winning contingent for the Youth Olympics 2030, Summer Olympics 2032 and 2036, and various world championships, putting India firmly on the global sporting map.

Strategic Partnership

The Trishe-Woxsen SixS Sports Academy, located at the Woxsen University campus, is equipped with international-standard training infrastructure. The Academy functions as a centre of excellence for high-performance sports training and dual-career athlete education. It is led by sporting legends and coaching icons:

• Badminton – Pullela Gopichand
• Cricket – MSK Prasad
• Athletics – Anju Bobby George
• Football – Bengaluru FC / Kerala Blasters

This collaboration combines WRF’s deep grassroots reach with SixS Academy’s sports science expertise to build future champions.
