Mumbai City Fly Off To Bangkok For Pre-Season Training

Gurugram
Indian Super League (ISL) Shield winner, Mumbai City FC will be preparing for the upcoming 2023-24 season in Bangkok, staying in Thailand till August 1 before returning for their season-opening campaign in the Durand Cup competition.
Having done their pre-season last year in Dubai, Mumbai City FC along with head coach Des Buckingham and the staff travelled to Thailand on Saturday as part of the squad’s pre-season preparations.
Buckingham’s Mumbai City ended the 2022-23 season at the pinnacle of Indian football with a record-breaking league campaign, that saw them clinch the ISL League Winner’s Shield in a mere 18 games, registering an unprecedented 46 points. They also marked their place in the history books by achieving the longest winning streak in the league of 11 consecutives and 18 games undefeated amongst breaking many other all-time ISL records. The Islanders also secured their return to Asia’s premier club competition, the AFC Champions League.
Looking back on last season, I am extremely happy with how we have progressed as a club. To remain unbeaten over 18 games and secure the Indian Super League Shield was a wonderful achievement. However, it was how the team played that was the most enjoyable part, breaking many league records and players expressing themselves so well, said the Islanders’ Head Coach.
Club CEO Kandarp Chandra outlined the objectives behind the team’s training camp in Thailand with an emphasis set on carrying forward the momentum from the success of last season.
