Mumbai City FC (MCFC), the defending Indian Super League (ISL) cup champions, have had an adequate beginning to the season, amassing just five points from four games thanks to just one victory thus far.
Mumbai City is one of the most accomplished clubs in ISL history. They are the first team to win both the League Winners Shield and the ISL Cup in the same season, achieving this feat in 2020-21. They are the only team to have won the ISL League Winner’s Shield twice.
MCFC, owned by Ranbir Kapoor and City Football Group (CFG), became the first Indian team to prevail in two games at the AFC Champions League group stage in 2022, concluding second in the group and barely missing out on the next phase.
Coming from the most commercial part of India and with CFG backing, the unit had an excellent shot of securing top brands as sponsors for the league.
