The club started the season in the best possible form blowing away all teams and building an unassailable lead in the MDFA Elite League. Nine wins in nine games having scored 37 goals and conceding only 4. The biggest victory was their latest game in the League which was an 8–0 win over Maharashtra State Police. Josimar is the highest goal scorer with 11 goals in the eight games he has played.

Mumbai failed to carry the momentum in the Federation Cup as they got knocked out in the Group stage itself. The club was pit in Group A alongside Dempo SC, East Bengal, Sporting Clube de Goa and Royal Wahingdoh. All group stage games were played atFatorda Stadium,Goa. The team lost their first game 2–1 against newbiesRoyal Wahingdohwith Josimar scoring the consolation goal in the game.

The dismal form continued in the2014–15 I-Leagueas Mumbai lost their first three matches in a row. The losses included a 3–1 loss at Kolkata againstMohun Bagan,a 1–0 loss againstShillong Lajongand a 3–2 defeat in the Maha Derby againstPune FC.The next match against Sporting Goa was a big game for the club as it was Mumbai's homecoming. The club would play their first game at their home ground –Cooperage Football Stadiumafter a five-year hiatus. The match ended in a 0–0 draw thereby handing Mumbai their first point in the league. The first match at the Cooperage saw a 2,500 strong crowd.

Mumbai took advantage of getting back at the Cooperage and went on to win two straight home games by thrashing Goan giantsSalgaocar3–0 and then on 20 February 2015 defeating the then league leadersRoyal Wahingdoh2–1. Mumbai FC went on to win their first away game when they beat I-League newcomersBharat2–0 which made it three wins in a row and took them to 4th place in the I-League table.

Defunction

[edit]

Facing financial problems since 2010, Mumbai FC was relegated from theI-Leaguein 2017,[38][39][40]and consequently decided to shut down rather than playing the second division.[41][42]USports CEO Supratik Sen confirmed their interest in playing the I-League from Mumbai after the success of Mumbai FC for a decade.[43]

"We feel that football in Mumbai has tremendous potential and it’s imperative that we have a team in the I-League. Just when fans started coming to the stadium in large numbers for the I-League games, Mumbai FC got relegated and the city didn't have a team in the league anymore", Sen said. Later in 2019, the club was made defunct.[44]

Crest & colours

[edit]

The Club crest consists of a shield with a yellow figurine of a footballer in front of theGateway of India.[45]

The colours of Mumbai FC are yellow and blue, which are derived from the club crest.[46]The home kit consists of a yellow jersey with yellow shorts and blue socks while the away kit consists of an orange jersey and white shorts and black socks; the reason why they were nicknamed "yellow submarines".[47]
