Mumbai City FC are all set to commence their AFC Champions League Group C campaign against Iranian club FC Nassaji Mazandaran.  The match will be played at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Pune on Monday. Mumbai City FC won the ISL 2022-23 league shield and then defeated the winners of 2021-22 league shield Jamshedpur FC in the play-offs to make their place in the group stage of the AFC Champions League. Mumbai City FC head coach Des Buckingham has been gearing up for the new season through the Durand Cup where they were knocked out of the competition by suffering a defeat against Mohun Bagan Super Giant in the Quarterfinal. To get the upper hand over a strong opposition like Nassaji Mazandaran, Des will need a much stronger performance from his backline, definitely better than the one his defence showed in the Durand Cup Quarterfinal. New signing Akash Mishra is yet to settle in the club while the attacking threat remains heavily reliant on Greg Stewart, Lallianzuala Chhangte and Bipin Singh. Des Buckingham’s Mumbai City FC Sets Sights on Recreating Past Success in ISL 2023–24 Season.

FC Nassaji Mazandaran have had a shaky start to the Persian Gulf Pro League 2023 season. They qualified for the ACL last season after winning the Hafzi Cup last season. This fixture marks their debut in the AFC Champions league. They have drawn two, lost one and won one out of their last 4 games. They will be relying on in-form Farshad Esmaeili and Mohammad Reza Azadi for the goals against Mumbai City FC away from home.
