Sports is ‘a way of life’ at Tata Steel and Jamshedpur’s reputation as the sports capital of Jharkhand is a consequence of this philosophy. Under the close supervision of skilled coaches, training is imparted to sports persons to excel at national and international level competitions. The initiative is mainly taken by the city’s corporate houses.

It has been a constant effort by Tata Steel to promote sporting activities. Jamshedpur’s numerous private clubs provide opportunities for a variety of sporting activities, such as golf, tennis, squash, billiards, horse ridding, water scootering, etc.

Various clubs have been formed in Jamshedpur to promote sports -

Tata Football Academy (TFA) - The Academy was started in 1987 to nurture budding Indian footballers in a scientific way and raise the overall standard of Indian football.

Tata Archery academy - Archery is a sport indigenous to the tribal people of Chhotanagpur and Santhal Pargana. Tata Steel has pursued and nurtured the local tribals and provided them with necessary facilities and training to bring them up to international competition standards in Archery.

Some of the important sport stadiums in the city are Keenan Stadium, JRD Tata Sports Complex & Sumant Moolgaonkar Stadium.

Jamshedpur can also boast of two golf courses, the Nildih golf course and the Beldih golf course.
