History
[edit]Formation and journey
[edit]The club was founded on 13 January 2000 asKenkre Academy FC,[8][9]under the patronage of former footballer and coach Adib Kenkre, andCEOJoshua Lewis.[10][11]Kenkre was based at Shivaji Park during its incorporation, and later in 2008 – the club for the first time took part in the second division of I-League.[12]
When we first started this club, the players themselves contributed Rs. 100 each. With that, we were able to buy our half-time refreshments, and we paid for a train pass for those who couldn't afford it. While it feels surreal to think that we're actually going to play in theI-League,it's something we've worked extremely hard for. This academy [Kenkre FC academy] and club are all his doing. He [Adib Kenkre] could've easily given up and shut shop like the many clubs in Mumbai, but his perseverance is tremendous. This club is going to be in the top divisions of India football for a long time, now that it has finally entered the door.
— Joshua Lewis (CEO of Kenkre), on club's early days and journey towards I-League.[11]
Kenkre FC were crowned champions of the Maharashtra Football League in 2010 for the first time in the club's history, after defeatingBengal Mumbai3–0, thanks to goals from Nigerian striker Mathew Odje, Francisco Salin and Charanjeet Singh.[13]After achieving that result, Kenkre wad granted admission into the I-League 2nd Division, then second-tier ofIndian football.[14]
In March 2013, ahead of the I-League Second Division kick-off, Kenkre roped in Portuguese managerJose Luis Lopes Da Costaas head coach and brought three of their first foreigners, Portuguese Rodilson Felisberto Fernandes Dias, Domingo De Jesus Gomes, Bruno Daniel Alciaes, and Australian Daniel Atkins.[15]

In December 2021, theAIFFclub licensing committee has unanimously decided to not grant the exemption sought by former I-League championChennai City FC,after having failed to receive the ICLS licence.[16]As a result, Kenkre replaced them in the 2021–22 I-League.[17][18][19]In June 2021, Akhil Kothari, India's youngest AFC A license holder, as new head coach of Kenkre.[20]The club began their league journey on 4 March 2022 againstReal Kashmirwith earning a historic point in the 1–1 draw.[21]Kenkre finished bottom after the phrase 1 and was placed in relegation stage. They achieved 12 points and got relegated to the2022–23 I-League 2nd Division.[22][23][24]
After being relegated at the end of the season, Kenkre was reinstated on sympathetic grounds and allowed to participate in the 2022–23 I-League season.[25][26]The club later participated in Baji Raut Cup in Odisha,[27]in which they reached semi-finals.[28]After struggling since beginning of the2022–23 league season,Kenkre along with Sudeva Delhi, relegated from I-League.[29][30][31][32]The2023–24 I-League 2season became disastrous to Kenkre as the club ended their campaign with bottom place finish with 9 points in 14 matches, and relegated to I-League 3.[33][34][35]
