THE SOUTH UNITED ECOSYSTEM

Founded in 2012, we are Bengaluru’s first privately-owned Professional Football Club. We have played in the BDFA Super Division since our inception and have also earned our stripes in the Gadhinglaj United Cup, Puttaiah Memorial Cup, and the I-League 2nd Division.

We have consistently performed at the highest level of football in Karnataka and have achieved this through a focus on young athletes and the development of local talent.

We have always been a young team and have given young players opportunities to shine. This has meant a great effort at the grassroots level to identify and hone talent. The Club has dedicated itself to the journey of carving pathways for youth in professional sports. We are recognized as one of the best football clubs in Bangalore, India, with a strong presence in Pune and Solapur. Additionally, our football coaching in Bangalore is renowned for nurturing talent. Our commitment to youth development sets us apart as the leading Football Academy in India, shaping the future of Indian youth.

True to our vision, we want to reach as many people as we can through sport and provide them with a realistic pathway to make a career for themselves in sport. One of the channels for us to be able to do this is to partner with schools and deliver our programmes directly to the children there. This system allows us to increase the exposure for our quality football training programmes while making it easily accessible to kids and parents.

We run in-school programmes which engage children in the game of football. These are meant as leisure training programmes with aspects that allow for identification and development of talent through more serious programmes, such as our after-school offerings and progression to the Academy.

We are dreamers when it comes to envisioning a future where football is accessible for any person regardless of what background they come from, and we have taken concrete steps to fulfil this vision. We run several community programmes that enable children from underprivileged backgrounds to be introduced to and develop their game.

We approach this as a means for them to empower themselves, not only through education in the traditional sense but also to build a future for themselves through their involvement in sport.

We also organise and participate in fundraising events associated with specific projects to build and execute our community programmes.
