Mumbai City FC

Mumbai City Football Club is an Indian professional football club based in Mumbai, Maharashtra. It was part of the City Football Group from 2019 until 2025. The club was established on 30 August 2014. Nicknamed "The Islanders", the club has competed in the Indian Super League since its inception, the top tier of the Indian football league system. They are the joint-most successful club in the Indian Super League history, along with Mohun Bagan Super Giant, winning 4 titles (2 League Winners Shield and 2 ISL Cups). Mumbai were the first club to win both the League Winners Shield and the ISL cup title in a single season, which it accomplished in the 2020–21 season.

In the first two seasons of the ISL, the club finished 7th and 6th in the points table, under Peter Reid and Nicolas Anelka respectively. In the club's third season, Mumbai qualified for the playoffs for the first time, after finishing 1st on the points table under Alexandre Guimarães. The club lost 3-2 on aggregate to eventual winners ATK in the semi-finals.

Former Portugal international & UEFA Champions League winner Jorge Costa took over as head coach before the 2018-19 season, and led the team to the playoffs after finishing 3rd on the points table. Mumbai then lost 5-2 on aggregate to FC Goa in the semi-finals.

For their first six seasons, Mumbai were seen as underperformers. They were widely considered one of the league’s top sides since inception, yet remained unable to win any silverware. That changed on 28 November 2019, when the City Football Group acquired a 65% stake in the club, marking the start of a new era.

In 2020, Sergio Lobera was announced as the manager for the 2020–21 season. The club went on to win the ISL League Winners Shield and the ISL Cup title for the first time. This was also the first time a club had done the Shield-Cup double.

After Lobera's departure in 2021, Des Buckingham was appointed as the club's new head coach ahead of the 2021-22 season. After a disappointing season where the club finished fifth, Des then led the team to two wins in the 2022 AFC Champions League. This made Mumbai the first Indian team to win a game in the AFC Champions League, and ended up finishing second in the group, narrowly missing out on qualifying for the next round. In the 2022-23 season, Des led Mumbai to an 18-game unbeaten streak, the longest ever in the history of the league, and thereby winning the second-ever League Shield for Mumbai by topping the league.

Following the departure of Des Buckingham to Oxford United on 16 November 2023, Czech coach Petr Kratky was appointed as the club's new head coach. In his first season, he lost the ISL Shield on the final day with a defeat against Mohun Bagan, but won the ISL Cup against the same opponent.

On 26 December 2025, following a "comprehensive commercial review" and due to the uncertainty around the future of the ISL, CFG announced they had divested its shareholding in the club.
