In what could be a bit of a disappointment for football fans in the city, Mumbai City Football Club has overlooked the iconic Cooperage football ground and decided to play their home matches at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai for the upcoming Indian Super League.

However, the team will hold its training at the Cooperage ground in Colaba during the tournament. The pre-season training, which has already started and will gather force from September 1, is being held at the Father Agnel's ground in Vashi, Navi Mumbai.

"I have been at the DY Patil Stadium over the last few weeks. I can't say how impressed I am about the playing surface. The DY Patil authorities have been wonderful and accommodating. The surface is perfect for our style of football. Mostly we chose the stadium because they have a natural turf as opposed to the artificial one at Cooperage," the team's technical director, Nishant Mehra, said during a function to unveil the team's logo at a city hotel on Saturday.
