Perspective
Mighty Young Joe FC, established in 2008 by Agnelo Picardo and led by Joe Miranda,[5] primarily competed in veteran[6] and rink tournaments around the city.[7][8]
Before the 2023–24 Mumbai Premier League, MYJ joined forces with Goalorious Mothers Sporting Club based in Immaculate Conception Colony, Borivali,[9] and led by Jeddy Almeida.[10] GMSC was founded on 5th September 2018 and had been competing in Mumbai's top division for five years before the merger.[11] The GMSC club crest prominently features the image of Mother Mary from whom the club derives its name. The announcement of this alliance was made at the official jersey launch event.[12]
Joe Miranda has been an integral figure in the football community for over a decade, having organized private and veteran tournaments. On the merger, he said:
I wanted to get into professional leagues, and Vijith and Steven suggested Jeddy and GMSC, and that’s how it came about.[13]
On 1 May 2024, they drew their penultimate game against Millat FC to win the title and stay unbeaten throughout the tournament.[14] They also entered their reserve side into the 2024 Reliance Foundation Development League.[15][16]
On 9 September, MYJ allied with Carmona SC, a football club from Goa, which made them eligible to compete in the GFA Third Division.[17]
On 11 September, they progressed to the playoffs of the 2024-25 I-League 3 by thrashing RKM 5-1, while HAL lost to Chanmari FC 1-2.[18][19] They defeated Abbas Union 1-0 in their final playoff match. This enabled them to finish third in their playoff group and promoted them to the 2025-26 I-League 2 season.[20] In the 2024–25 Mumbai Premier League, they finished runners-up to India On Track FC, losing by 1-0 on the final day of the season.[21]
