Chandigarh 18 November ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : In a significant boost for India’s football development narrative, Minerva has once again underlined its unmatched influence on the national stage, with five of its graduates earning places in the India Senior National Team squad for the AFC campaign. The inclusion of Bikash, Anwar, Sandesh, Vikram Partap, and Pramveer reinforces what Indian football circles have long acknowledged: Minerva’s talent pipeline remains one of the most consistently productive in the country. For an academy that began with the bold ambition of reshaping the nation’s footballing ecosystem, this achievement stands as another validation of its grassroots-first philosophy. Over the years, Minerva has steadily built a reputation for identifying raw potential, offering structured pathways, and consistently feeding the national setup across age groups. This latest milestone adds to a growing list of players developed in Minerva’s system who have gone on to represent India at the highest level. It also highlights how academy-driven models can play a transformative role in strengthening the national team’s player pool. As the senior squad prepares for its AFC challenge, Minerva’s impact on Indian football continues to be unmistakable, a reminder that the journey from academy grounds to the national jersey is not just possible, but increasingly common for those shaped within its system.
