Congratulations Mumbai City FC on the 6th anniversary!

My heartfelt congratulations to Indian Super League franchise Mumbai City FC on its 6th anniversary of the clubs foundation day!

I still remember the days of setting up Mumbai City FC in the months of June, July and August 2014 before the official launch was held on August 30 at then called Palladium hotel (now St. Regis) in Lower Parel, Mumbai. It was a big media event with our co-owner and Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor launching the name and logo with our other co-owner Bimal Parekh.

Vividly I remember those early days as not only the name, logo and brand of the club were created, but also the team for the inaugural Indian Super League season was put together through the ISL drafts and plans on how to run through the three month campaign were developed.

It was an exciting time with a lot of work and numerous sleepless nights, but despite the promise after what I would term a successful domestic and foreign ISL players draft, we could not put it onto the pitch.

Sadly in these six years since existence, Mumbai City FC have not won the ISL title but I hope that with the investments of the City Football Group besides bringing in their football knowledge and professionalism into the club, the Islanders will finally climb the top ladder of the Indian Super League.

I wish Mumbai City FC all the best ahead of ISL – Season 7! Get the trophy boys!!!
