Mr. Sharan Parikh, Director, South United F.C. said, “South United has been consistently winning the runners up trophy of the Bangalore Super Division. But we sure do hope to better our standing and win this year! Two of our senior players, Sunil Kumar and Kabir Thaufiq, are on loan to Chennai City F.C. for the season.
