Team Profile
The maximum city is in the midst of a footballing renaissance, with new teams springing up to fill the void left by the departure of some of Mumbai’s old powerhouses. The city’s Hero Indian Super League club, Mumbai City FC, aims to restore Mumbai to its traditional standing in Indian football. True to the city’s roots, there is an element of Bollywood to the team, as Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor is one of the owners, along with Bimal Parekh.
The team’s brain trust includes Arunava Chaudhuri, a respected football enthusiast. His background in German football played an integral role in Mumbai City FC’s signing of Manuel Friedrich, the former Borussia Dortmund and Germany defender. Friedrich’s vast experience, not to mention his considerable defensive ability, will be a valuable asset as Mumbai City FC builds a competitive squad to challenge for top spot in the ISL.
Mumbai City FC will look to engage with its city’s rapidly-growing base of football fans. Mumbaikars should watch out for the latest sporting entertainment heading to their city!
