About

Founded in 2012, South United Football Club (SUFC) has grown into one of South India’s leading football institutions, combining professional excellence with a strong community focus. Based in Bengaluru, SUFC operates as both a premier professional club and an international-standard residential academy, dedicated to nurturing the next generation of footballers, coaches, and sports professionals.

​

At the heart of SUFC’s vision is the belief that India can be a global footballing nation — provided players are given the right infrastructure, pathways, and opportunities. Over the past decade, SUFC has trained 13,000+ players, with 79 representing their states in the Santosh Trophy, and several advancing to the ISL, I-League, and international clubs.

Our grassroots and academy programs focus not just on technical training, but also on building character, discipline, and leadership. Through the South United Sports Foundation (SUSF), we extend this mission further — developing infrastructure, supporting underprivileged talent, and creating access to football at every level.

Beyond training, SUFC is a hub for football education and innovation. We bring in global best practices in coaching, tactical development, and performance analysis, while also creating opportunities for players to grow through competitions, scouting networks, and international exposure.

​

Led by Owner & Director Sharan Parikh, SUFC is also deeply connected to the larger world of sports and business innovation, blending professionalism with creativity to leave a lasting impact. Whether through our professional team competing in top leagues, our academy shaping future stars, or our grassroots initiatives empowering communities, SUFC is committed to raising the standards of Indian football.

​

South United FC is more than a club — it’s a movement to build a sustainable, world-class footballing ecosystem in India.
