The Cooperage Football Ground is a football stadium located in Nariman Point, Mumbai, Maharashtra.[1][2][3][4] It is predominantly home to multiple Mumbai Football League clubs.[5][6]
The Western India Football Association has operated from the Cooperage Ground since 1969,[7] and the Mumbai District Football Association holds a small office. It was a venue for one of India's premier national leagues, the I-League.[8][9] Mahindra United FC, Kenkre FC, and Mumbai FC used the stadium as home ground in both the NFL and the I-League, while Ambernath United Atlanta FC hosted its I-League 2nd Division games.[10][11][12][13]
History
Cooperage Ground was the primary venue for Rovers Cup, the third oldest football tournament in India after Durand and Trades Cup.[14] The stadium was occupied by the British Indian Army during the World War I.[15] In April 2011, plans were announced for the Cooperage Football Ground to be renovated when FIFA announced that they would give the Western India Football Association US$2 million in order to renovate that stadium.[16] On 12 June 2011, it was announced in the Bombay High Court that the West India Football Association would be given the right to renovate the Cooperage Ground.[17]
