The club's history is a testament to dedication and a love for the game. It all started with a small group of young players, under the patronage of Nishant Bhatt and the inspiring support of his mother, Renu. The club's methodology evolved significantly after learning best practices from English Premier League standards and its invaluable collaborations with international soccer schools like Bolton Wanderers, Moratalaz Academy, and Brentford FC Academy. These partnerships have enriched the club with a wealth of knowledge, paving the way for professional-grade training routines and football culture that continue to thrive.
Today, Stadium FC operates four grassroots centers across Bengaluru and a distinguished residential academy, offering football programs for players aged 5 to 21. The academy is accredited by the All India Football Federation and actively competes in prestigious leagues including the Super Division Senior Men League in Himachal, the Youth Premier League, and the State Club League in Karnataka. The club's numerous accolades, such as topping the group in the Hero Juniors League and lifting the U17 Championship in the KSFAYPL, underscore its commitment to nurturing young football talent.
