History

Madhya Bharat Sports Club was founded in 2017 in collaboration with Celtic F.C. Academy.[9] The club along with Pride Sports FC emerged as the two existing semi-professional clubs in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. In 2017, they roped in their first foreign coach José Carlos Hevia from Spain and began the pre-season journey with comfortable win against Hazrat Nizamuddin FC.[10] The 2017–18 season,[11][12] was disastrous for them as they bowed out from group B, without a single win.

On 21 August 2018, All India Football Federation announced that Madhya Bharat will participate in 2018–19 I-League 2nd Division, but they later withdrew.[13]

In the 2018–19 I-League 2nd Division, Madhya Bharat finished at the bottom of the Preliminary round group B.[14]

Stadium

Madhya Bharat played most of their home matches at the

Tatya Tope Nagar Sports Complex in Bhopal,[15] which has a seating capacity of 20,000 spectators.[16][17]
