Mumbai Football Arena, Football stadium in Andheri West, India
Mumbai Football Arena is a football stadium in Andheri West with a natural grass pitch and seating capacity of around 6,600 spectators. The facility sits within the Andheri Sports Complex and hosts both national and international matches.
The stadium was built in 1988 and has been a venue for football since then. Over time it became an important location for hosting national and international football events.
Mumbai City FC has played its home matches here since the 2016 Indian Super League season. In June 2018 captain Sunil Chhetri made a public appeal for greater fan support after low attendance at India's opening Intercontinental Cup match against Chinese Taipei; all of India's later matches at the stadium sold out.
The arena sits in the Andheri Sports Complex in Andheri West, about 850 metres from Azad Nagar metro station and 2.3 kilometres from Andheri railway station. The pitch is natural grass, with tiered blue seating along the sides and floodlight towers above. Accessible seating was added with the bucket-seat installation completed before the 2022–23 Indian Super League season.
The stadium's redevelopment drew contributions from local politician Aaditya Thackeray and actor Ranbir Kapoor, who is linked to Mumbai City FC's ownership. Ahead of the 2022–23 Indian Super League season, bucket seating was installed throughout, standardising a capacity that had previously ranged from about 7,690 to 9,000.
