About the club
More than just
a football club
- Roots
- 2006
- Founded
- 2011
UKM Kothrud F.C. was founded in 2011 through the merger of two local teams, Utkarsh Krida Manch and Panthers F.C. Our roots go back to 2006, when president Vasant Kulkarni began coaching underprivileged children in Karve Nagar and registered them with the Pune District Football Association so they could compete and grow.
We currently play in PDFA Super Division and B Division, with dedicated teams for boys, girls, and grassroot academies across age categories. What began with four players has grown into a family of 250+ athletes, 10+ coaches, and 45+ trophies-built on free coaching and a commitment to underprivileged children.
