Mendiola 1991's roots can be traced back to the football program of San Beda College (now San Beda University).[1][2] It all began in the summer of 1991, the San Beda senior football team based in Mendiola Street joined a prestigious league[specify] held in Manila which was composed of the armed forces teams, various clubs and universities. Due to lack of available players, they decided to invite more players from different universities, thus forming the Mendiola Football Club, which resulted to a respectable 4th-place finish in the said tournament.
Following the success, the club has grown and became one of the pioneering teams joining the first semi-professional league in 1997, Manila Premier Football League.
In 1997, Mendiola joined the U19 Adidas Cup clinching the tournament's title.[3]
Prior to the start of the 2020 season, the club announced that Ricardo Penson, a sponsor, is funding the construction of a stadium in San Beda's campus in Taytay, Rizal which will serve as the home venue of the club. The venue is part of the club's final requirement to acquire a full club license from the PFF.[8][9] However, for most of the 2020 season, the club will hold home matches at the Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila and is negotiation with the local government of Imus, Cavite to host later matches at the Imus Grandstand.[10]
In 2021, Mendiola secured an AFC club license for the first time making them eligible to qualify for the AFC Cup.[3]
Note: Performances of the club indicated here was after the Philippine Football League created (as a semi-pro league) in 1995.
