I-League 2024-25: Full updated squad of Rajasthan United FC

Rajasthan roped in former Uruguayan international Walter Caprile as head coach.

Rajasthan United FC, proudly representing the culturally and geographically diverse state of Rajasthan, are positioning themselves as a formidable contender for the I-League title and the prestigious promotion to the top tier of Indian football.

The Jaipur-based club etched its name into Indian football history by clinching victory in the 2021 I-League qualifiers, becoming the first club from Rajasthan to secure a spot in the I-League.

Founded initially as the Jaipur Engineering College and Research Centre Football Club by a group of engineering students, the club was rebranded as Rajasthan United in 2020, evolving into a symbol of pride for Rajasthan’s passionate football community.

Since then, Rajasthan United have made notable strides, attracting high-caliber foreign talent like Spanish midfielder Omar Ramos and Argentine defender Mauro Dos Santos, elevating both the club’s profile and its on-field competitiveness over these years.

Their accomplishments extend to the Rajasthan State Men’s League, where they clinched the title in 2019 and recently finished as runners-up. The club’s youth development program also earned elite category accreditation from the All India Football Federation (AIFF) in December 2023, underscoring their commitment to nurturing local talent and building a sustainable future.

With their eyes set firmly on I-League glory, Rajasthan United FC is not only aiming for footballing excellence but is also fostering a legacy that resonates across Rajasthan and beyond.

Rajasthan United FC recently appointed Walter Caprile as their head coach for the 2024-25 I-League season, marking a significant step forward for the club. Caprile, a former Uruguayan footballer from Canelones, brings a wealth of experience from his playing days with teams such as Liverpool de Montevideo, Real Espana, and Bella Vista, and managerial roles with clubs like Lorca FC.

Although his coaching career is still in its early stages, his impact has already been noted, and he is set to bring his tactical expertise and vision to Rajasthan United.

The choice of an experienced Uruguayan coach underscores Rajasthan United’s ambitions not only to compete but to establish themselves as formidable contenders in the race for the I-League trophy. Caprile’s leadership signals the club’s commitment to excellence and development, aiming to build a squad that resonates deeply with the people of Rajasthan.

This article delves into the squad Rajasthan United FC have assembled—a team that aspires to represent the spirit, pride, and passion of Rajasthan, with each player embodying the heartbeat and soul of the state. Their recent elite signings include the captain of the Burundi national team Saido Berahino and former Real Sociedad player, Alain Oyarzun.
