Kenkre Football Club is an Indian professional football club based in the city of Mumbai, Maharashtra.[1][2][3] The club currently competes in the I-League 2, the third division of the Indian football league system. Founded in 2000,[4] the club usually competes in MFA Elite Division of Mumbai Football League. Nicknamed "Mumbaikars", they previously participated in I-League, then highest division of the Indian football league system.[5][6]

Kenkre was relegated into I-League 2 at the end of the 2022–23 I-League season. They previously enjoyed consecutive spells in the I-League 2nd Division.[7]

History

[edit]

Formation and journey

[edit]

The club was founded on 13 January 2000 as Kenkre Academy FC,[8][9] under the patronage of former footballer and coach Adib Kenkre, and CEO Joshua 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 the I-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 defeating Bengal Mumbai 3–0, 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 of Indian football.[14]

In March 2013, ahead of the I-League Second Division kick-off, Kenkre roped in Portuguese manager Jose Luis Lopes Da Costa as 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]

2020–present

In December 2021, the AIFF club licensing committee has unanimously decided to not grant the exemption sought by former I-League champion Chennai 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 against Real Kashmir with 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 the 2022–23 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 the 2022–23 league season, Kenkre along with Sudeva Delhi, relegated from I-League.[29][30][31][32] The 2023–24 I-League 2 season 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]

Cooperage Ground in Nariman Point, Mumbai, serves as the home ground of Kenkre.[38][39] It has artificial turf and has a seating capacity of 5,000.[40][41] The club qualified for the I-League in 2021,[42] but due to COVID-19 pandemic in India, league format was shortened and matches were played in few centralised venues.[43] As the league came back with home-away format, Kenkre played its first home match at the Cooperage Ground against Churchill Brothers on 24 November 2022.[43]

In later years, the club used Neville D'Souza Turf in Bandra for Mumbai Premier League matches.[44] Ahead of the 2023–24 I-League 2, the club announced AIFF Centre of Excellence ground in Kharghar as their home venue.[45]
