After FC Goa's valiant debut performance in the last edition of the Asian Champions League where the Gaurs finished third in group A, Mumbai City FC will represent India in the Asian Champions League 2022. The defending Indian Super League champions were seeded in the pot 3 along with Pakhtakor of Uzbekistan AL Wehdat of Jordan Istiklol of Tajikistan and Ahal FC of Turkmenistan.
The Indian champions have been clubbed into group B with AL Jazira of UAE, Al Shabab of Saudi Arabia and Air Force Club of Iraq.
Mumbai City FC had a very bright start in the Indian Super League League 2021-22 season. They won five out of the first six matches and were cruising away with the league. But a sudden drop of form has put them in a tough spot. The Islanders managed to garner only two points in their last five outings. They are now stranded at the fourth spot with seventeen points from eleven matches in a very close looking ISL table.
Their last ISL match against Kerala Blasters was postponed due to COVID 19 scare and the Islanders will now face Jamshedpur FC on next Friday.
