History edit

Foundation edit

In 2007, Indian football was in the process of a renovation, mainly with the start of the I-League replacing the old National Football League.[25] However, despite this, the All India Football Federation still had trouble attracting investors to create new clubs, specially outside of West Bengal, Goa, and North East India due to the fact that, despite a good number of fans in these areas and good wages to players, the clubs in these regions still had trouble creating any profit.[26]

Ashok Piramal Group, a company based in Maharashtra, however did the opposite.[26] Despite the city of Pune not having much history when it comes to football or much support for the sport, which is overshadowed by cricket, Ashok Piramal Group still created Pune Football Club in 2007.[26] In creating the club they created one of the first clubs in India named after the city they were playing in and representing.[26][27] The club also got invitation and participated in TFA Shield tournament, organized by Tamil Nadu Football Association (TFA).[28]

I-League 2nd Division (2008–2009) edit

In preparation for their first ever season in the I-League 2nd Division, the club signed mainly a bunch of unknown players and also signed on Stewart Hall as the first head coach of the club.[26][29] The club were grouped in Group A during the 2008 I-League 2nd Division along with Vasco, ONGC, HAL, and Chirag United.[26] Midway through their 2nd Division campaign the club changed coaches, going from Stewart Hall to former Northern Ireland national teamer, Bernard McNally.[30] The club finished in third place in Group A and thus failed to advance further that campaign.[26]

Pune FC took part in Kolhapur All-India Football Championship in 2009, and reached semi-finals.[31] The club then participated in the 2009 I-League 2nd Division, in which four promotional spots were generated because of the expansion of I-League.[26] Before the season began Pune re-hired former coach Stewart Hall to coach the club.[32] Also before the season the club managed to make many changes to the squad.[32] At the end of the season Pune managed to finish in fourth place with a 3–0 victory over SESA Football Academy and thus earn promotion to the I-League for the first time in their history.[33][34][35]

Early I-League and Derrick Pereira Era (2009–2013) edit

Pune Football Club's first season in the I-League was the 2009–10 season. Pune selected the Balewadi Sports Complex in Balewadi, a suburb of Pune, as their home stadium.[39] Before the season began the club made headlines when they signed the current India number 1 goalkeeper, Subrata Pal, from East Bengal and by also signing Japanese midfielder Arata Izumi from Mahindra United.[13][40] At the same time the club also signed Derrick Pereira to be the head coach of the team after Stewart Hall resigned.[13] Before joining Pune, Pereira was head coach at Mahindra United where he had won the National Football League and the Federation Cup. He also took Mahindra United to the quarter-finals of the AFC Cup in 2007.[41]

Pune played their first I-League match against East Bengal, which was also their first home match in the I-League, on 3 October 2009 in which the final score was 0–0.[42] Pune had no wins, six draws, and two losses in the league before winning their first ever I-League match on 9 January 2010 against JCT 2–1.[43][44] At the end of the season Pune finished in third place which was called a success by the club due to their weak start in the league.[44]
