🇮🇳 SUPPORT MINERVA ACADEMY’S ROAD TO MIC CUP 2027 — BUILDING INDIA’S NEXT FOOTBALL HISTORY
THANK YOU, INDIA!
Because of your incredible belief and generosity, we have successfully crossed our initial fundraising goal of ₹1 Crore.
Your support has already helped our young footballers represent India on the biggest international youth stages, and together we have started creating history.
But our journey has only just begun.
Today, we are extending our mission and increasing our fundraising goal to ₹2 Crore so we can prepare the same talented 2014-born team for the MIC Cup 2027 in Spain.
OUR JOURNEY SO FAR
Thanks to your support, our boys are currently competing against the world’s best young footballers.
We are proud to share that our 2014-born team has been crowned Helsinki Cup Champions, bringing another prestigious international title home to India.
The journey now continues in Sweden, where the team is competing in the Gothia Cup – The World Youth Cup, one of the largest and most prestigious youth football tournaments in the world.
Every match, every training session, and every experience against elite international opposition is preparing these young players for our biggest objective yet—MIC Cup 2027 in Spain.
THE NEXT GLOBAL STEP FOR INDIAN FOOTBALL
Minerva Academy FC is proud to continue its journey at one of the world’s most prestigious youth football tournaments:
MIC CUP 2027 (Mediterranean International Cup) Costa Brava, Spain
After making history at MIC Cup 2026, we are determined to return stronger, smarter, and better prepared.
WHAT WE ACHIEVED AT MIC CUP 2026
Minerva Academy created history for Indian football by:

• Becoming the first Indian team to qualify for the MIC Cup Knockout Stage.
• Remaining unbeaten during the Group Stage.
• Finishing among the tournament’s most exciting attacking teams.

Historic Result
We defeated Liverpool 6–0, a landmark victory that attracted international attention and showcased the potential of Indian youth football.
Tournament Performance

• 18 goals scored.
• Among the tournament’s leading attacking teams.
• Competed confidently against some of Europe’s strongest academies.

Individual Achievement
Raj Singh Wahengbam finished among the tournament’s leading goalscorers with six goals, standing alongside players from some of Europe’s biggest academies.
This was more than participation.
This was India competing.
This was India proving.
This was India earning global respect.
WHY MIC CUP MATTERS
MIC Cup is regarded as one of the world’s premier youth football tournaments.
Many global stars—including Lionel Messi, Neymar, Rodri, Pedri, Dani Carvajal, and Lamine Yamal—featured in the competition during their youth careers.
The tournament brings together:

• Elite European academies
• South American clubs
• National youth teams
• Professional scouts and academy directors

It is one of football’s greatest pathways for young talent.
MINERVA — INDIA’S PROVEN DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM
Minerva Academy FC has become one of India’s leading football development institutions.
Our achievements include:

• 240+ players developed for Indian National Teams.
• First Indian team to win the Gothia Cup (2023).
• European Treble (2025):
  • Gothia Cup (Sweden)
  • Dana Cup (Denmark)
  • Norway Cup (Norway)
• Helsinki Cup Champions.

We don’t travel to participate.
We travel to compete.
OUR MISSION — MIC CUP 2027
Our 2014-born team has already proven they can compete with the world’s best.
Now we want to give them the preparation they deserve.
Our MIC Cup 2027 programme includes:

• A two-week elite training camp in Spain.
• Friendly matches against top European academies.
• Tactical, physical, and environmental adaptation before the tournament.
• The opportunity to represent India at one of football’s biggest youth events.

We are no longer travelling simply for experience.
We are travelling to compete for history.
WHY WE ARE INCREASING OUR GOAL TO ₹2 CRORE
Thanks to your support, the first ₹1 Crore is funding our current international campaign, including preparation and participation in the Nordic tournaments.
We are now raising the next ₹1 Crore, taking our total campaign target to ₹2 Crore, to fully support our MIC Cup 2027 mission.
The additional funds will cover:

• International flights and visas.
• Elite training camp in Spain.
• Matches against top European academies.
• Accommodation, transport, and logistics.
• Tournament registration.
• Medical, recovery, and performance support.

OUR BELIEF
₹1,000 × 10,000 supporters = ₹1 Crore
If another 10,000 people join this mission, together we can give India’s next generation of footballers the opportunity to compete with the very best in the world.
Every ₹1,000 donation brings one young player one step closer to achieving that dream.
SPECIAL DONOR REWARD
Every donation of ₹1,000 or more will automatically enter a lucky draw to win an official Lionel Messi football jersey.
More than a prize, it represents your belief in the future of Indian football.
WHY THIS MATTERS
This is about far more than one tournament.
It is about:

• Giving Indian footballers world-class exposure.
• Creating genuine pathways to European football.
• Inspiring millions of young players across India.
• Showing the world what Indian youth football is capable of.

The world noticed us at MIC Cup 2026.
Now, together, let’s make sure they remember India at MIC Cup 2027.
