“I’m really happy to have signed on for two more years at Bengaluru FC. The city is home now, and the people at this club are like family to me.
“It feels like just yesterday that I signed for the first time here, and I have to say the journey has been nothing short of special. I love this club, the supporters and the city, all three of which I have a strong bond with, and I’m looking forward to being part of many more great moments with them,” said Sunil Chhetri.
