FC Deccan
football club
Football Club Deccan is an Indian professional football club based out of Bangalore, Karnataka. The team participates in the BDFA Super Division, the fifth tier of the Indian football league system (first in the state of Karnataka).
History
FC Deccan was founded on 30 September 2017 in Bangalore with a vision of promoting professional football among youngsters in the entire Deccan Plateau region. Hundreds of talented footballers aspiring to play in the top tier of the Bangalore District Football Association (BDFA) have got another avenue with the unveiling of new city-based club FC Deccan. FC Deccan has overseas partners in Germany who are bringing in technical expertise and European style of football to India. The club made headlines in November 2017 when it was announced that the side had completed the signings of former I-League midfielder Raju D. of Churchill Brothers and former Premier Futsal player Jonathan Piers of Bangalore franchise Bengaluru Royals.
FC Deccan played their first season in 2017–18 BDFA Super Division. They ended the season at the bottom of the table and were relegated to 'A' division.
In July 2018, FC Deccan started its "Academy" and "Soccer School" in Bangalore supported by Faimo Sports GmbH, Germany which is headed by Martin Monnerjahn. The program aims to build local talent from U-6 to U-18 who aspire to become professional players.

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 30, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q112119078. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2017 and 2018.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
