Who says India doesn't produce football talent? Chandigarh-based Minerva Academy, owned by Ranjit Bajaj, answered that question in style during the Helsinki Cup 2026 in Finland. The young Indian side stunned a Finnish club with a 19-0 victory, scoring 19 goals without conceding once in a remarkable display of attacking football. That dominant performance set the tone for a dream campaign, as Minerva went on to defeat defending champions HJK 1-0 in the final to lift the prestigious youth tournament. The title marks a historic achievement for Indian football and highlights the growing quality of the country's young talent.
