Reports Say City Football Group to Withdraw From Mumbai City FC

Local reports tie the decision to uncertainty over league governance during a stalled ISL season.

Overview

  • Khel Now–sourced reports relayed by Republic World and News18 state CFG is set to exit its majority stake, with ownership expected to revert to Ranbir Kapoor and Bimal Parekh.
  • Sources quoted in the coverage say Mumbai City FC has informed the AIFF of an ownership change, with final technical steps reportedly in progress.
  • The reporting links the move to the unresolved start of the 2025–26 ISL season after FSDL’s contract ended and to a standoff over a club-led league proposal criticized by the AIFF.
  • Coverage cites a reported AIFF bank balance of ₹19.89 crore as part of the financial backdrop, though the figure is not formally confirmed in the articles.
  • CFG bought a 65% stake in 2019, a period during which Mumbai City FC won two League Winners’ Shields and two ISL Cups, including a 2020–21 double.
