Mumbai City Football Club will create a dedicated section for away fans during its home matches at the Mumbai Football Arena. The facility will be available to fans starting Sunday in the Islanders’ next Indian Super League fixture against ATK. The club has struggled to fill the stadium to its capacity, which is around 10000, despite good performances at home, and this initiative is likely to help in increasing the crowd count.

“I am really glad that we could be the first team in the ISL to have taken this progressive step towards supporting the fan culture in our country. It will motivate the away team supporters to flock to our arena in numbers to watch their favourite teams live in action,” Mumbai City FC co-owner Ranbir Kapoor, said.

“We believe this move will create a great atmosphere in the stadium and I am quite sure fans will definitely appreciate our latest effort to promote football and enhance the fan experience in our home stadium,” he added.

The dedicated section for all away supporters will be Stand 4B, which will be accessible via the main gate 1 and the inner gate 8.
