"The city has, in recent years, given quite a few players to the national team who, unfortunately, have to ply their trade in other cities and in other clubs. We believe there is a lot of talent in Delhi and we would like to reach out to them through Delhi FC."

Under the partnership, Minerva will provide Delhi FC with a full-size field, physiotherapy and wellness clinic (on-site physios and on-call doctor), travel and accommodation facility for players and staff, proper equipment and infrastructure, AFC and AIFF certified coaches.

The Mohali-based academy will arrange for daily training, tactical training, classroom session, psychology sessions, video sessions and practice matches.
