KSFA Super Division Champions: Kickstart Football Club has etched its name into Karnataka football history by becoming the 2025–26 KSFA Super Division Champions, marking the club’s first-ever men’s league title after an inspiring eight-year journey of grit, ambition, and belief.

This triumph is especially meaningful for Kickstart. After finishing as runners-up three times in the past, the club has finally reached the summit, not through shortcuts, but through a clear philosophy of building from within, nurturing young talent, and trusting the process. Many players from this year’s squad have been with Kickstart since the men’s team was formed. Some have been part of the club even before the men’s team was formed. Their growth reflects Kickstart’s unwavering commitment to developing footballers from the grassroots stage into elite competitors.

In an extraordinary and rare achievement in world football, Kickstart has now become the only club in any football-playing nation to be unbeaten champions in both the men’s and women’s elite leagues in the same season.
