History

[edit]

In April 2020, RoundGlass Sports Pvt. Ltd. completed the acquisition of the I-League club Minerva Punjab, rebranding it a year later as RoundGlass Punjab. After promotion to the ISL, they changed name to Punjab FC in July 2023.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] On 15 June 2020, they appointed Curtis Fleming as head coach.[11][3][12] On 15 July, they appointed Nikolaos Topoliatis as new technical director.[13] As the season progressed, Punjab made it to the championship stage and finished their season with a 2–3 loss to Churchill Brothers.[14] They achieved 2nd position with 22 points in 15 league matches.[15]

Staikos Vergetis led the club winning I-League, that sealed promotion to the Indian Super League.

In August 2022, Staikos Vergetis was appointed as the new head coach of RoundGlass Punjab.[16] After winning 4–0 against Rajasthan United on 4 March 2023, the club ensued their I-League title, gaining promotion to the Indian Super League for the first time.[17][18][19][20][21] They ended the season with 52 points in 22 league matches.[22][23] RoundGlass Punjab later participated in the 2023 Indian Super Cup.[24][25][26][27][28] Punjab began their 2023–24 season campaign on 23 September, in a 3–1 away defeat to Mohun Bagan, in which Luka Majcen scored club's first ever ISL goal.[29][30][31] They secured first league point on 6 October, in an 1–1 tie with NorthEast United, in their first home match at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi.[32][33] On 19 December, French playmaker Madih Talal scored a goal, gave Punjab their historic first match win in the Super League as they defeated Chennaiyin by 1–0 at home.[34][35] The club achieved their first away win later on 12 February 2024, defeating Kerala Blasters 3–1 in Kochi.[36][37] The club registered their biggest win on 10 April defeating East Bengal 4–1, ended the league campaign with 24 points in 22 matches.[38][39]
