6: Bengaluru Football Club (BFC)

BFC, nicknamed "The Blues", is an Indian professional football club based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, established on 20 July 2013.

After a successful debut season in which the team claimed a historic championship, the club moved out of the Bangalore Football Stadium to play at the 24,000 capacity Kanteerava Stadium, finishing runners up in the League and winning the Federation Cup in only its second season.

In their third season, the Blues reclaimed the I-League title and went on to become the first-ever Indian club to make it to the final of the AFC Cup, going down 1-0 to Air Force Club in Doha. The club won its second Federation Cup title in 2017, before making the move to the Indian Super League where it finished runners-up in the 2017-18 season. The Blues capped off the season winning the inaugural Super Cup to make it five trophies in five years

This magnificent club has performed extravagantly in both domestic and international platforms. Surely, India has improved its position in the global arena, thanks to the emphatic display by the blues.

Just Bengaluru Things.
