Nicknamed "Jeepmen",[12] the club was popularly referred as India's MU after the [English Premier League](/source/Premier_League) powerhouse [Manchester United](/source/Manchester_United_F.C.).[13][14] It was one of the most popular football clubs in the country and was known for its consistent good performance in the last four decades of its existence.[15] The club had won many major tournaments in [India](/source/India),[16][17] and also clinched an international tournament, [2003 POMIS Cup](/source/2003_POMIS_Cup) in the [Maldives](/source/Maldives).[18]

## History

### Formation and journey

The club was founded in 1962 as the "Mahindra & Mahindra Allied Sports Club" under the patronage of [Mahindra Group](/source/Mahindra_Group).[14][19] They secured admission into [Bombay](/source/Bombay)'s [Harwood League](/source/Mumbai_Football_League) in 1964 and won their first title in 1970. Players like renowned goalkeeper [E.N. Sudhir](/source/E.N._Sudhir) appeared with the club at that time.[20] The club later lifted its first knock-out tournament, [Bandodkar Gold Trophy](/source/Bandodkar_Gold_Trophy) in 1980.[21] The club later became [Durand Cup](/source/Durand_Cup) champion in 1998,[22] under coaching of legendary football manager [Syed Shahid Hakim](/source/Syed_Shahid_Hakim),[23][24][25] and went on to clinch the title again in 2001–02.[26]

#### In leagues of Mumbai

Since their inception, Mahindra became a member of [Western India Football Association](/source/Western_India_Football_Association) (WIFA) and later in 1983, became affiliated with [Mumbai District Football Association](/source/Mumbai_District_Football_Association) (formerly *BDFA*). They participated in later editions of [Bombay Harwood League](/source/Mumbai_Football_League) alongside Maharashtra Football League, and won the Harwood League four times in 1970, 1982, 1984 and 1985.[27][28]

Mahindra later participated in [W.I.F.A. Super Division](/source/Western_India_Football_Association) from 1990 to 1999 and clinched WIFA title in 1995.

They later participated in [MDFA Elite Division](/source/MDFA_Elite_Division) and lifted trophies consecutively from 2000 to 2004 and 2006 to 2009.[28]

### NFL and other domestic competitions

From 2002 to 2003, [Czech](/source/Czechs) coach [Karel Stromšík](/source/Karel_Strom%C5%A1%C3%ADk) managed the club in the [National Football League](/source/National_Football_League_(India)).[29] In the summer of 2006, it was renamed *Mahindra United*. The shirt colour was also changed from orange to red.

The team played its NFL home matches at the [Cooperage Ground](/source/Cooperage_Ground) in [Mumbai](/source/Mumbai),[30][31][32] but due to the bad state of the stadium, as of February 7, 2006, they had to play almost all of their NFL games at away venues.

Mahindra were crowned champions of NFL Premier Division for the first time in the club's history in the 2005–06 season, with two games to spare.[33] They followed it up by beating their arch-rivals, [Air India](/source/Air_India_F.C.) for the first time in the season. They are also two-time winners of the [Indian Federation Cup](/source/Federation_Cup_(India)), having won the title in 2003 and 2005.[34][35][36] The win in 2005 ensured that Mahindra became the first club in the history of Indian football to win both the Federation Cup and National Football League in the same season.[37][38] They did however lose the NFL Super Cup to [East Bengal](/source/East_Bengal_Club) by a margin of 1–2.[39]

### Later years

[Arata Izumi](/source/Arata_Izumi) is the first ever naturalized Indian footballer, who played for both Mahindra United and the [India national team](/source/India_men's_national_football_team).[40][41][42]

In the 2006 edition of [IFA Shield](/source/IFA_Shield), Mahindra United emerged as champions, defeating [Mohun Bagan AC](/source/Mohun_Bagan_AC) by 1–0 in [Kolkata](/source/Kolkata).[43][44] They also participated in the [2006 Federation Cup](/source/Federation_Cup_(India)) and achieved third place, defeating [Dempo SC](/source/Dempo_SC) 4–2 in the penalty-shootout.[45] In the 2008 edition of IFA Shield, they defeated the South African side [Santos FC](/source/Santos_F.C._(South_Africa)) by 3–1 to win the title.

Head coach of the team was [Derrick Pereira](/source/Derrick_Pereira). Players like Subhashish Roy Chowdhury, [Manjit Singh](/source/Manjit_Singh_(footballer)) and [Surojit Bose](/source/Surojit_Bose) have been associated with the team. The club also tried forming under-15 and under-19 teams in order to nurture the young talent in the country.[37]

## Stadium

Main article: [Cooperage Ground](/source/Cooperage_Ground)

[Cooperage Football Ground](/source/Cooperage_Ground) before renovation

Mahindra United mainly used [Cooperage Football Ground](/source/Cooperage_Ground).[46][47][48] It is located in [Nariman Point](/source/Nariman_Point), Mumbai,[49] The stadium hosted home matches of both the National Football League and I-League, alongside [MDFA Elite League](/source/Mumbai_Football_League); It had a seating capacity of nearly 12,000 spectators.[50][51]

## Rivalry

During their existence and playing days, Mahindra United shared rivalry in the NFL, predominantly with fellow [Mumbai](/source/Mumbai)-based club [Air India](/source/Air_India_FC).[52][53][54][55][56][57]

## Disbanding the club

In 2010, it was announced that the club will be disbanded after the end of the [2009–10 I-League](/source/2009%E2%80%9310_I-League).[58][59][60][61] The decision was a major blow for football in [Mumbai](/source/Mumbai),[62] and financial reasons were one of the main factors behind it.[63][64][65] Alan Durante, the chairman of Mahindra United, who had been with the team since 1991 and under whom Mahindra have won almost everything in Indian football, said it wasn't about costs.

*We have decided to get out of competitive football and get into it at the school level. From the end of the I-League (2009–10 season), we will not take part in any competitive football. The players have promised to give their best in our remaining three I-League matches. We will then try to defend our title in the [MDFA Elite Division](/source/MDFA_Elite_Division), before closing down. Nobody in Indian football makes money and had that been the reason, we would have shut shop five years ago.*

— **Alan Durante**, chairman of Mahindra United FC, after taking the decision of disbanding the club[66]

Ruzbeh Irani, executive vice-president of the club, said: "It was in line with our group's philosophy and shift, from taking part in professional sport to developing it. We feel we can make much difference to sport in India at the school level in football, instead of running a professional team."[67] Due to the dysfunction of Mahindra United, the All India Football Federation allowed [AIFF XI](/source/Indian_Arrows) to take part in I-League directly.[68]

## Achievements

### Overall

Mahindra United had won almost all the major competitions in India until its dissolution.[69][70][71][72][73] The club was one-time winner of the National Football League.[74] It was also the first team from [Maharashtra](/source/Maharashtra) to win the Harwood League and Nadkarni Cup three times in a row, and also first team from the state to compete in domestic highest division.[75] The club has also been two-time winner of [IFA Shield](/source/IFA_Shield) and [Federation Cup](/source/Federation_Cup_(India)).[76][77] There are several other championships like Mammen Mappillai Cup, [Rovers Cup](/source/Rovers_Cup), Chief Minister's Cup and Super Cup where Mahindra United has registered victories.[37]

On an international level, Mahindra United achieved success through lifting the [2003 POMIS Cup](/source/2003_POMIS_Cup) trophy in the [Maldives](/source/Maldives), beating [Club Valencia](/source/Club_Valencia_(Maldives)) 3–1.[78][79] They also became the first Indian club to reach the quarter-finals of the [2007 AFC Cup](/source/2007_AFC_Cup), but their journey ended with an aggregate 4–5 defeat to [Lebanese](/source/Lebanon) side [Al-Najmeh SC](/source/Nejmeh_SC).[80][81][82][83] In 2003, Debjit Ghosh of Mahindra United, won the *IndianFootball.com* 'player of the Year' award.[84]
