Bangalore Super Strikers Football Club was inspired by the vision of Mr. Devaraj and Mrs. Rajammal Devaraj, who dreamed of seeing their grandson represent India. Their son, Ramakrishnan (Ram), now the club’s president, shares this vision and adds his own lifelong dedication to football. As a passionate player, Ram experienced firsthand the challenges and limited resources available for middle-class athletes, which motivated him to create a supportive platform for young players
Ram’s commitment began by coaching his son, Sabari, who recently played in the Karnataka sub-juniors and contributed to the team’s victory. Along this journey, Ram encountered various obstacles in helping Sabari reach competitive levels, realizing that many other children face similar potential barriers. This understanding fueled Ram’s determination to establish Bangalore Super Strikers Football Club as a means to provide the mentorship, guidance, and opportunities that many young, aspiring players lack
Today, as an AIFF-C licensed coach and KSFA referee, Ram leads the club in developing one of the largest grassroots football communities in South India, emphasizing team spirit, sportsmanship, and inclusivity. Through scholarships and sponsorships, the club supports underprivileged children, fostering a meaningful impact in grassroots football and empowering young talent to pursue their dreams at national and international levels.
