\"FCBengaluru: <\/strong>FC Bengaluru United have released a list of 13 retained players ahead of the 2021-22 domestic season. Having been crowned BDFA Super Division Champions earlier this year, the Bengaluru club will be keen to carry forward the momentum as they launch their bid to qualify for the I-League in September.<\/p>\n

“We have always been clear and focused on our goal – to bring Bengaluru back to the I-League,\u201d said Gaurav Manchanda, Owner, FC Bengaluru United. \u201cWe are thankful to all the players who have played an integral role in the journey thus far. Continuity plays a key role in building a robust team structure and we are glad we have the core strength to ensure this going forward into the new season.\u201d  <\/p>\n

Among the retained players are some notable names, including attacking midfielder Hayden Fernandes and Arun N, who was adjudged the best midfielder in the 2019-20 BDFA Super Division.
