The Cooperage Football Ground is a football stadium located in Nariman Point, Mumbai, Maharashtra.[4][5][6][7] It is predominantly home to multiple Mumbai Football League clubs.[8][9]

The Western India Football Association has operated from the Cooperage Ground since 1969,[1] 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.[10][11] 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.[12][13][14][15]

History

Cooperage Ground before renovation

Cooperage Ground was the primary venue for Rovers Cup, the third oldest football tournament in India after Durand and Trades Cup.[16] The stadium was occupied by the British Indian Army during the World War I.[17] 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.[18] 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.[19]
