In a groundbreaking move, Thane City FC (TCFC) has taken a bold step forward, harnessing the potential of artificial intelligence (AI). TCFC, known as a pioneer in India’s football landscape, has embraced AI technology to revolutionize its registration and promotional campaigns, causing ripples of excitement among players, parents, and football enthusiasts nationwide.
This trailblazing journey for TCFC involved seamlessly integrating a cutting-edge WhatsApp bot API into its Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. This visionary step aims to provide users with a seamless, hassle-free experience, allowing them to effortlessly book free trials, make payments, and engage in insightful conversations with TCFC’s coaching experts.
Agnelo Fernandes, TCFC’s Technical Director, expressed his enthusiasm for this groundbreaking initiative, stating, “We’re absolutely thrilled to be at the forefront of this technological leap in Indian football. Our integration of AI technology not only streamlines our operations but also elevates the overall experience for our players and their parents to a whole new level.“
In the initial phase of this innovative project, TCFC’s WhatsApp bot serves as an informative guide, offering valuable information about the club’s programs, schedules, and addressing common queries. The integration is designed with user-friendliness as a priority, simplifying the registration process for all.
Fernandes also provided insights into the future phases of this initiative, mentioning, “In the second phase of development, we have ambitious plans to expand the role of AI. We aim to leverage AI to generate player assessments, which we’ll then share directly with parents. This will provide valuable insights into their child’s progress and development within the club. We believe this comprehensive approach will further strengthen our bond with the TCFC community.”
Thane City FC’s adoption of AI technology signifies a monumental milestone in Indian football. With this innovative approach to registration and communication, the club not only revolutionizes its operations but also enhances its relationship with players and parents. TCFC’s commitment to innovation reflects its dedication to the sport and its vision for the future of football in India.
As Thane City FC continues to set new standards, it’s evident that this visionary club is embracing the digital age and making it an integral part of the beautiful game. With AI as their ally, TCFC is poised to make significant strides both on and off the pitch, leaving an enduring mark on the world of Indian football.
Thane City FC was established with the vision to provide Thane city and the surrounding district with its own professional football team that not only represents the city but also embodies its culture, history, and legacy.
Founded in 2018 by Sachim Karekar and Makrand Vaidya initially as a senior team project, Prashant Singh and Anand joined forces with Ultra Sports India to create a comprehensive football setup. This setup included a senior team and a focus on nurturing Thane’s football talent. At the time, Thane District had just witnessed a reformation of its league and association, making it the perfect moment for Thane City FC to create a football team to represent the city.
Thane has always been a cradle for footballing talent, but it lacked a team with the vision to compete in national leagues. The district was often overshadowed by its counterparts in Mumbai. To this day, Thane City FC remains dedicated to developing talent within its ecosystem and supporting Thane District as a whole.
