History

Sudeva is an organization which was started in 2014 by two young entrepreneurs, Mr. Anuj Gupta (Solicitor in England) and Mr. Vijay Hakari (Environmentalist) sharing a common passion for raising the standards of football training in the country. The organization runs grassroots programs for potential talent, starting from the age of 9 years, right up to the senior level.

In June, 2020, All India Football Federation (AIFF) invited bids for a new team to join the I-League. Sudeva was one of the three football clubs that submitted the bid documents and on August 12, 2020, AIFF announced that Sudeva would take part in the 2020-21 I-League season after winning the bid for direct entry into the competition.[1][2]
