Minerva previously participated in the I-League, then the highest division of Indian football league system.[5][6][7] The club reached the AFC Cup Group stage, in the 2019 edition of the continental second tier.[8] After selling Punjab FC to Roundglass Sports, owner Ranjit Bajaj bought stakes in Delhi FC. However, Minerva Academy remained active since its inception.[9][10] After being promoted into the I-League in 2016,[11] the academy based club was rebranded as Minerva Punjab FC, and in 2019 the football section was relabeled as Punjab FC. The club has won the I-League title once, in 2017–18. Widely known as "the factory" of Indian football, Minerva is one of the most successful sports academies in the country.[12][13]

History and overview edit

2005–2020 edit

The club was established in 2005 as Minerva Academy.[14][15][16] It was founded as a purpose of reviving the glory of Minerva Club, an association football team of Minerva Public School in Mohali, that emerged as one of the most formidable football teams in the state of Punjab.[17] Until 2013, the club was being operated as an amateur six-a-side football team (beside running academies) for local players from Chandigarh, alongside appearing in age-grouped tournaments.[18]

Minerva initially fielded players in various regional competitions in Punjab and beyond, while club's first major tournament at the national level, was I-League 2nd Division in 2015–16.[19][20] On 22 November 2015, the club began league journey with a 2–0 win against Kenkre.[21] Goalkeeper Arshdeep Singh maintained cleen-sheets as Minerva thrashed PIFA 3–0 on 11 December.[22] They reached final round of the tournament and maintained good form, but ended campaign earning second place after a 3–1 defeat to Dempo.[23][24][25] They were promoted to the I-League after an impressive stint at the 2nd Division.[26][27] Minerva later took part in 2016 Durand Cup, getting the direct entry.[28] They earned only point from a 2–2 tie with Army Green in the last group stage fixture; hence couldn't qualify for the semi-finals.[29][30][31] Minerva along with Chennai City, was promoted to I-League after the withdrawal of Dempo.[32][33] The club ended 2016–17 I-League season at the second last position. In December 2016, Minerva roped in British coach Colm Joseph Toal as technical director.[34][35] In October 2017, Bollywood actor Rannvijay Singha was unveiled as co-owner of the club.[36]

Next season, surprising everyone, Minerva clinched the I-League title.[37][38][39][40] It was their first ever top division title.[41] They became first ones from North India to win the league since 1996; The title made the team qualify for their first-ever continental tournament.[42] Minerva appeared in the Group stages of 2019 AFC Cup, alongside Indian Super League outfit Chennaiyin, starting from Preliminary round 2.[43][44] However, they lost to Iranian club Saipa in Tehran, in the qualifying play-offs of 2019 AFC Champions League; therefore couldn't make it to the final round.[45] On 3 April 2019, Minerva kicked-off their AFC cup campaign against Chennaiyin in Ahmadabad, which ended in a 0–0 stalemate.[46] On 17 April, the club held Abahani Limited Dhaka of Bangladesh by 2–2 at Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka.[47][48] They maintained undefeated form, drew both home and away games with Nepali side Manang Marshyangdi.[49][50] They drew another game with Chennaiyin, this time 1–1 in Guwahati.[51] In last group stage fixture at home, the club lost 1–0 to Abahani.[52][53] Minerva were also placed in the round of 16 bracket of 2018 Indian Super Cup,[54][55][56] in which they lost to Jamshedpur 4–5 on penalties.[57]

 
Paul Munster, guided Minerva in 2018–19 season as both technical director and head coach.

In July 2018, Minerva roped in noted Indian manager Sukhwinder Singh as technical director.[58] Later on 8 August 2018, Northern Irish manager Paul Munster was appointed as new technical director—head coach of the club.[59][60][61] The club won Punjab State Super League for the first time after becoming undefeated in 11 games, and later went on to win J&K Invitational Cup in Kashmir, jointly with Real Kashmir.[62] In February 2019, Minerva signed a strategic partnership with Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach, aiming football development at grassroots level.[63][64] On 8 February 2019, Minerva announced Munster's departure.[65] In 2018–19 I-League, the club managed to win four of their twenty fixtures and finished ninth in the league table. They were placed in 2019 Indian Super Cup qualifying round, but refused to play protesting against uncertainty of I-League clubs' future in Indian football. Thereafter, they were also not invited to play 2019 Durand Cup. On 30 October 2019, announcement was made that after a partnership agreement with RoundGlass Sports Private Ltd., the club has been renamed as 'Punjab Football Club'.[66][67] From mid 2019 until May 2020, the club was managed by Yan Law.[68] After losing I-League spot, Minerva started playing football again in Punjab football league system with its youth age groups.[69] It is the only Indian club to win all age group national titles in the same year, in 2017–18 season winning U13, U15, U18 and senior I-League.[70]

2020–present edit

I have sold Punjab FC and not Minerva FC. We are now registered with the Punjab Football Association as "Minerva Academy Football Club".

RoundGlass Sports bought 50% of Minerva Academy's share earlier; In 2020, they bought remaining 50% from owners Ranjit and Heena Bajaj to form RoundGlass Punjab FC.[71]

In November 2020, Minerva Academy was accredited as Khelo India State Centre of Excellence (KISCE) by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports.[72][73] The same year, Sports Authority of India (SAI) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Minerva for a period of four years under the "Khelo India Talent Identification and Development Program".[74][75] The club became a regular participant in Shaheed-e-Azam Sardar Bhagat Singh Memorial Tournament.[76]
