Bengaluru FC inaugurate world-class training facility in Bengaluru

The Indian football team had trained in this training facility by Bengaluru FC.

Bengaluru FC on Friday unveiled its state-of-the-art training centre at the Centre of Sports Excellence (CSE), marking a major leap in the club’s vision of building world-class football infrastructure in India. The Blues, who will soon regroup for the 2025-26 season, will begin their preparations on India’s first-ever hybrid training pitch.

A hybrid surface combines natural grass with synthetic reinforcement, ensuring durability and consistency throughout the year. Alongside the hybrid ground, the centre also features a natural grass nine-a-side pitch, offering varied training conditions for both the senior and youth teams.

Beyond the pitch: Modern facilities for complete development

The new training centre goes much further than playing surfaces. A fully-equipped gymnasium supports tailored strength and conditioning programs, while two purpose-built dressing rooms replicate professional matchday standards. Recovery has been given equal importance with the inclusion of ice-baths and specialized recovery rooms.

Club Owner Parth Jindal emphasised the facility’s significance, stating: “Amid all the turmoil that Indian football finds itself in, our effort to drive its development has been steadfast since the founding of Bengaluru FC. Our new training facility reiterates that intent.

With six Bengaluru FC players in India’s CAFA Nations Cup squad and seven in the U23 squad for AFC Asian Cup qualifiers, Jindal reiterated the club’s ongoing contribution to national football.

“The Indian national football team trained here before a successful CAFA Nations Cup, and we hope it becomes the preferred venue for Team India in the future as well,” he added.

A holistic hub for players and staff

The centre has been designed to create a sense of community. A kitchen and pantry ensure nutrition-led meals for players and staff, while a recreation room provides much-needed downtime. In addition, a meeting room has been dedicated to tactical briefings, video analysis, and strategic planning.

CSE Founder Vivek Kumar added, “At CSE, we believe every athlete must have access to world-class facilities. Bengaluru FC, being one of the most successful football clubs in India, deserve nothing less. We are excited to partner with them in this journey.”

This milestone cements Bengaluru FC’s long-term vision of raising the standards of Indian football while nurturing emerging talent in a facility benchmarked against global standards.
