Kenkre Football Club[3] is an Indian professional football club based in Mumbai, Maharashtra.[4] The club participated 2021 I-League Qualifiers.[5][6] It currently competes in Mumbai Football League and I-League, one of the top tier football competitions in India.

History[]

The club was founded in 2000 as Kenkre Academy FC, under the patronage of former footballer and coach Adib Kenkre, and CEO Joshua Lewis.[7]

Kenkre FC were crowned champions of the Maha Football League in 2010 for the first time in the club's history, after defeating Bengal Mumbai FC 3–0, thanks to goals from Nigerian striker Mathew Odje, Francisco Salin and Charanjeet Singh.[8] After achieving this result, Kenkre FC were granted admission into the I-League 2nd Division, then second-tier of Indian football.[9]

In December 2021, the AIFF club licensing committee has unanimously decided to not grant the exemption sought by former I-League champion Chennai City FC, after having failed to receive the ICLS licence. As a result, Kenkre replaced them in the 2021–22 I-League.[10][11]
