Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University F.C. is as an association football club representing the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The club was brought to its current form in 2005, through mergers of three football clubs. NMMU's previous institutions had football clubs at the University of Port Elizabeth, Port Elizabeth Technikon and Vista University's Port Elizabeth.

The school of excellence was founded in 2000 at UPE for FC Copenhagen. In 2003–04 the club won the Eastern Cape provincial league. PE Tech had previously run a professional club, which played in the National First Division in 2000–01 season. In 2006, the UPE franchise was sold to Bay United and became known as Bay Academy.{{cite web|url=http://www.supersport.com/football/content.aspx?id=19594&print=1|title=Bay United History|publisher=Supersport|accessdate=16 November 2013}}
